See the discussion starting at: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/browse_thread/thread/28d1252d578fba41/ (currently 95 messages) During the discussion, I offered a few comments, suspicions, and questions about your data and methodology, some of which are: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/ac5f00cc2d428c53 http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/1aa1d35f8a65175b http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/b00fdeddbb8e1f36 http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/5a1997cfa77e682d Many of the points I raised would be answered if I could obtain a copy of the report published in Accident Analysis and Prevention, 39, 417-425. $42 for 8 pages seems a bit extreme. I was wondering if you could possibly sneak a copy to me? If there are any restrictions on redistribution, please let me know. Also, time permitting, if you could join in the discussion, your input would be appreciated.
