Besides my fully-committed cycling and triathlon hobby, I also enjoy riding motorcycles. It's relaxing and, frankly, just fun.
I've noticed often that when I tell people I ride a motorcycle, one of the first questions they ask is "Do you wear a helmet?" (Ohio, where I live, is a helmet-optional state). However, when I meet people and we talk about cycling, they NEVER ask that question.
I know the experience of riding a motorcycle versus a bicycle is an apples to oranges comparison. But for those of you out there who enjoy both activities, I was wondering what your feeling is on which activity carries more risk. Also, does anyone know where I can access head injury data for bicycling?
