I guess I wasn't clear. While there are obviously more people operation motor vehicles, I would wager that the number of people operating motor vehicles while distracted or otherwise breaking the law is greater or equal to the total number of people on bikes at any given moment in Anchorage. Ride as a passenger some time and just watch other people. So many people aren't treating driving like they are operating a motor vehicle. It's scary. I've seen texting, phone calls, breastfeeding moms behind the wheel, people eating, people doing everything but paying attention to the road. If the baby is crying? Pull over and attend to it if you must. Don't reach back and try to shove the binky it its mouth. If you can't decide on a song on your MP3 player? pull over and fix it. Don't just lean over. Getting lunch? Take it back home or to your office! It's not that difficult to do one thing for 15-20 minutes (in anchorage). You will not die, I promise.
