  Is Cycling Dangerous? -- The Risk of Bicycle Use -- Accidents, Fatalities, Injuries, and Benefits
Fearmongering discourages vehicular cycling and by doing so increases the number of deaths; bicycling is at the worst no more dangerous than driving an automobile and has compensatory health benefits that greatly overshadow the risks.
A study of these risks was made in 1994 and showed that sidewalk cycling is almost twice as dangerous as cycling in the street, and cycling against the traffic on the sidewalk is over four times as dangerous as cycling in the street.
But no matter whether people start exercising early or late, cycling has the ability to regenerate their bodies and to keep them from joining the million lives lost a year, and that is a lifetime risk of not 1/256 or 1/133 but of 1/3.

 Motor cycling is a hazardous form of transport   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
About 450 of the injured motor cyclists were admitted to hospital for over one week, 300 underwent a period of rehabilitation and 600 remained disabled for one month or longer.
Insofar this could be determined, half the motor cyclists exceeded the 50 km/hour limit shortly before an accident inside the built up area, in some 15% of cases even exceeding 100 km/hour, also with accidents registered at intersections.
It is interesting to note that in most cases, the driver could have seen the motor cycle in advance, had reduced speed and looked around or had even come to a stop.

 Bicycle Blueprint - The Benefit-Cost Advantage of Bicycling for New York City
Like walking, cycling is renewable transport, and therefore non-polluting; however, the mechanical advantage of the bicycle allows the cyclist to cover 4-5 times as much ground as the pedestrian.
With improved street conditions, especially reduced pollution and danger from motor vehicles, cycling could truly become a “health club of the streets,” providing free aerobic exercise as part of one's normal daily travel, not in a sweaty gym but in the urban outdoors.
Still, it is hard to imagine that the necessary changes in the city's institutions and infrastructure, or the costs of cycling itself, would absorb more than a fraction of the savings that individuals and the public at large would reap from expanding bicycling and cutting back on car traffic.

 Motor Cycling Starts Stops   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In an effort to reduce power costs, cycling the blower motor on/off, rather than allowing the motor to run continuously is becoming more common.
Due to the high inrush current of an ac motor during starting (normally 650% of full load current), frequent starting can substantially increase the temperature of the motor to the point of (1) dramatically reducing the insulation life of the motor or (2) insulation failure.
During the accelerating period, the connected load torque is equal to or less than a torque which varies as the square of the speed and is equal to 100% of the rated load torque at rated power.

 MORGAN the World's Leading 3-Wheelers: Motor Cycling, 09. Mai 1934
THERE have recently been several interesting events in the three-wheeler world, but none more outstanding than the introduction of the four-cylinder Morgan, of which the first description appeared in Motor Cycling published on November 22 last.
That is to say that apart from the more even pull and the different exhaust note of the four-bore unit, the Model F resembles other Morgans in most respects.
Like all Morgans, past and present, it is a man's motor; which statement, of course, does not imply that in this Year of Grace, 1934, it cannot be driven with equal ease and pleasure by many a woman.
