I've cycled for 7 years to go to work, I've still to clock 28 984 500 kms before fate gets me :)

As long as you're cautious, and the car drivers in your city have a faint notion that people *can* sometimes appear on bikes around them, you're allright. (I know middle-sized cities in France where word of this fact hasn't got yet, and they're bloody dangerous)

I've noticed something though : I always try to remember that pedestrians navigate in the city by ear alone. A bike is silent, hence invisible to them, they tend to cross in front of you.

My boyfriend and my brother also cycle to work, and the only injury we've had in the family was due to avoiding a pedestrian.

Thanks for your blog, it's excellend reading. I've wanted these bike/pedestrian/cars accident figures for a long time...
