What a wonderful place to ride bike...

Sometimes no matter how careful and prepared you are the unexpected happens. The term for that is "accident'. People don't sit around and then decide, "I think I'll go for a bicycle ride and have an accident."

We all know that unexpected situations arise.

But it's also true that the more a person learns about riding, the fewer
"unexpected" situations they encounter. And when they do happen on an
unexpected hazard, they are more likely to handle it well.

Knowledge and skill work wonderfully. But most people on bikes know very
little, and have fairly low skill levels; and still, cycling is very safe.

It takes only a little knowledge and skill to make cycling
_tremendously_ safe.
