there was a person near DC that was a bicyclist who was hit a few yrs back. It was like 5 in the morning. And the person was dragged. The driver of the vehicle said that they thought that they hit a deer.

A dude I know hit a chick on a bike over the summer and killed her. Didn't turn himself in until the next day. He was just convicted and the jury recommended three years. Shit like that is why I don't ride on the road. You can have all the right in the world, but what difference does it make when some asshole in a two ton car hits you.  :-\

  I have a really nice mountain bike, and like Groink, I love riding it around where I live. I am super wary of L.A. traffic, so I try to use as many safe routes as I can    side walks too

Just the occasional wanderer. Elusive as the adults are they could be a few around.

DNA tests show that a 140-pound mountain lion killed last month on a Connecticut highway had walked more than 1,500 miles east from the Black Hills of South Dakota., state officials said today.

The epic journey was the longest ever recorded for a mountain lion.

"The confirmation of a wild mountain lion in our state was the first recorded in more than 100 years," said Daniel Esty, commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. "This is the first evidence of a mountain lion making its way to Connecticut from western states and there is still no evidence indicating that there is a native population of mountain lions in Connecticut."

Male mountain lions normally "disperse" in search of females, but usually travel only about 100 miles.

The big cat, which was fully grown and younger than six, was hit by a car and killed June 11, 2011 on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in Milford, Conn. It had been seen earlier in June in Greenwich.

I feel sorry for the guy, but riding a bike in traffic is for people who are prepared to die or be mangled.  Any other attitude and they are fools.

Pretty much.   Except a motorbike has better acceleration to get out of a fix (and may provide better impact protection?).  Ride motorbikes at your own risk  :(
