If you read the paper, you'll see they surveyed about 3500 people
repeatedly over a year. That should result in data that represents the
actual practices of participants during the time they participate in
each activity. So as with Tom's "descending mountains in the rain at 58
mph" I suspect the time doing jumps in full face helmets and body armor
is a small sliver of the total time spent riding bikes. Also note they
had a separate category for what I call "ordinary" cycling - they called
it cycling as a "commuting activity" or more accurately, cycling as
transportation, to just get somewhere.

 I see that you save your skeptician for things that you are afraid to do personally.

Hmm. A "skeptician."  Is that a professional who specializes in skepticism?  In any case, it's a nice neologism. Sort of euphonious.
