Out of all bicycle crashes, only 17% actually involve a motor vehicle. This video breaks down that 17% into the various causes AND shows that each cause (even when "the motorist's fault") is quite avoidable! My use of "avoidable" is to say that there is something you can do to help prevent it from happening. It is NOT to say that it is 100% avoidable. Now, without further ado..

Hi,
Thanks for posting this information. It was interesting and in a good format. I have taken the liberty of linking to it from our local Bicycle Council Education page (www.bicyclehaywoodnc.org). I hope this is acceptable to you. If not, please post me back and I will remove it.
BTW, I checked your route across America to see how close you came to my home area on the Blue Ridge Parkway in WNC. I see that you didn't dip this far south, which is too bad because we have some outstanding riding in our area. I'll suggest that you come back sometime and spend some time here to get a good feel for the Great Smoky Mountains. :) If you are so interested, you can keep up on some of the riding available here on my blog at http://gr8smokieszeke.blogspot.com .
Thanks again!
Zeke
