My fiancé just asked me the other day how worried she should be about my biking. I tried to be real about the steps I take to reduce risk:
Bright lights
Obnoxiously visible clothing
Varia
Defensive riding
Liberal trainer use
Being picky on road choices - traffic, shoulder, etc.
Current helmet/ well-maintained equipment
Pretty decent list I think. Am I missing anything?
Still, I hate to see things like this. Details are sparse in this article, but one assumes 7’2” Shawn Bradley was pretty visible. Intellectually I know the risks are low, but anecdote is a powerful thing.
