The deaths of bicyclists

As I've mentioned I've been using a Google program to help me locate stories of interest to bicyclists.

There are many of them all around the world.

However there is one type of story that outnumbers all the rest combined, and it is absolutely depressing.

The deaths of bicyclists.

Bicyclists are being killed ( and also, "luckily" just injured ) in traffic accidents in alarming numbers, not just in the USA, but all over the world.

Newspapers cover these stories, and sometimes do follow-ups for one reason or another.

The overwhelming number of such accidents are the car drivers fault, but some can be blamed on faulty riding practices by bicyclists.

I have debated  whether I want to cover such stories here, in any great numbers, even starting an archive category, but have leaned toward not doing so because I want to accentuate the positive side of cycling.

Be careful out there, bicycling, people!
