There's nothing wrong with a desire for accuracy.
I'm far more concerned that fantasists seem to wish for everyone else
to share in their fantasies.



You failed to quote the really telling statistic from the report -
"Nearly all bicyclist fatalities (92%) occurred as a result of crashes
with motor vehicles". You place yourself in dodgy company. There was
an asshole here in the UK who, failing to watch where he was going,
killed a cyclist and then had the timerity to start a campaign to make
wearing of helmets mandatory. Faced with such stupidity and denial,
it's no wonder that cyclists are less than enamoured when somebody
starts lecturing them about wearing helmets. Helmets aren't the
problem, car drivers are.
