Before you all go on about how good it was at the beginning of the millenia, data collection in NOLA sucked. Deaths were accurate (because you can't hide bodies), but injuries were woefully underreported.


Only you know why you stopped riding. But there's no data to back up why you stopped after fifty years.

p.s. I've ridden in NOLA. I did not die.

First glance, those year-to-year numbers seem pretty random.

Also, 2005 was Hurricane Katrina so I have no idea what to make of statistics from then.
