Is cycling dangerous?

It occurs to me that cycling might be more dangerous that I thought.

I wonder how many people die prematurely each year from elevated blood
pressure at the thought of healthy cyclists using the road without
paying a specific tax for doing so.

But would this be such a bad thing?

Probably none. But you're kind of on the right track, the angriest little
**** around here is indeed a full-time motorist who "hardly cycles". But it
seems to be inconsequential words on a screen that are causing him such
distress, not cyclists using the road or his job delivering meals-on-wheels.

Probably none. Motorists accept that you have to pay for the facilities
you use.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

Most odd. I've heard little but winging from many motorists here about
the cost of motoring.

Of course, regular cyclists, who use their cars least (and therefore
pay most), seem to whine less.

Sorry, mate, but I am going to have to report you for you offensive
language. ;-)

I didn't realise you could use the word wine as a verb. I've heard of taking
wine, drinking wine or even investing in wine.
But never, ever as a verb.
