[SDCBC] "Actuarial inevitability" my #(#$&@ !

[Gale Chan]

Found this lying around in my inbox....I use that bike path to
avoid having to ride the surface streets near Balboa and Mission
Bay Dr.  I see riders of all types (road, comfort, 'bent, mtn)
on it all the time.  Occasionally I see peds but mostly all
cyclists.
