That number doesn't mean anything by itself...You have to know if the number of bikes on the road or better yet number of miles ridden has gone up also...If bikeriders rode 8% more miles last year, for example, then a rise of 5.1% in total deaths would actually be an improvement over the year before. This is why I hate statistics...You can prove either point of view depending how you use the numbers! I hate when they use the total number f deaths to show how bad bikes are.

No wondeer states are starting their own programs. I guess MSF is just concerned about selling bikes. And why did the MSF dumb down the BRC a few years ago?
