Florida dangerous for bicyclists

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a report on cycling deaths in 2004 (PDF).

Two highlights:

+ Florida was first 1st among the state in bicycling fatalities, with 122. (California was 2nd.)

+ Florida ranked 1st in "pedalcyclist fatalities per million population") with 7.01. The national average was only 2.47.
