No, cyclists get run over. Doesn't matter whether hill or not. A

The risk goes up as the speed goes down.

More bull****, Joerg, or at least, more ignorance of data.

Motorcyclists have a fatality per hour rate roughly 30 times higher
than
bicyclists. You can't say that risk goes up as speed goes down.


As an engineer you should at least try to find the real reasons. They
can be summed up in videos like this:

But by your simplistic statement ("The risk goes up as the speed goes
down") he would be in more danger if he slowed down!


Put your thinking cap on for once. It is obviously the speed
_differential_ that matters.

Joerg, I was quoting what YOU said. Perhaps you should put your thinking
cap on before you post?


Learn how to read in context.
