Editorial on cycling hazards and bike theft rise
The piece notes rising bicycle sales from 4.7 million in 1960 to 8.9 million in the United States this year with 1972 projected at half a million more. It cites 1971 death and injury totals from the National Safety Council and discusses vulnerability to traffic, potholes, and theft. It highlights California theft figures, Bay Area increases, and police clearance rates, plus the lure of theft due to its cash value. The article mentions bike-only routes, a Virginia Potomac path linking Alexandria to Mount Vernon, and urges riders to stay alert to safety risks.
