It sounds a little Milquetoast, but research actually bares out the claim. The roads are more unsafe for American pedestrians and cyclists than ever before.
I have struggled with my perception of these changes, and challenged myself to be stronger and smarter on the road.

Well, I wonder how much 'fun' they guy had riding a bike? It is a real shame to stop doing something you enjoy, 'what if' yourself out of doing something fun. The roads are more dangerous(distracted drivers) but what I do is ride smart..defensively and never ride anywhere w/o a shoulder. And in 2002 I got hit from behind while riding at 10:30 on a Saturday morning but not gonna stop riding road. Dirt road riding just isn't as much fun to me, nope to MTB..road riding is fun, even with the risk..YMMV and all that.
