Ouch. Beats landing on pavement, I suppose.
So, exactly how dangerous are New York City cyclists to pedestrians? When it comes to fatalities, not very: according to statistics compiled by the city’s Department of Transportation, just 11 pedestrians died as a result of crashes with cyclists between 1996 and 2005 — a tiny fraction of the 256 New York City pedestrians killed by drivers in 2009 alone.
Labor Day Century
The Hanover Cyclers put on a great century ride on Labor Day highlighting some of the best, low-traffic roads in Adams, Frederick and Carroll counties. I’ve done this ride for several years and it remains my favorite century (but have no affiliation with the organizers). Check it out at http://www.hanovercyclers.org/ldc.html.
cheers,

Pumping up is easier for people who have been buff before, and now scientists think they know why — muscles retain a memory of their former fitness even as they wither from lack of use. That memory is stored as DNA-containing nuclei, which proliferate when a muscle is exercised. Contrary to previous thinking, those nuclei aren’t lost when muscles atrophy.
Wheels up?
I guess this is supposed to be threatening, but it just looks like the start of another group ride to me.
