""More people are injured by wheelchairs than by lawnmowers, the abstract reports. Bicycles are involved in more accidents than any other consumer product, but beds rank a close second.

""Most of the statistical tables, which come from a variety of government and other sources, are presented raw, without caveats; and because the abstract is so concrete, the statistics can suggest false precision. The table of consumer products involved in injuries does not explain, for example, that one reason nearly as many injuries involve beds as bicycles is that more people use beds."""

absurd

"What the heck is a ""consumer product?"" Simply sometihng one buys? I bet more people are injured in shoes than on bicycles. Less people are injured playing Gameboy, but their bodies and minds atrophy. The entire notion is simply absurd."

it depends

"Well, what exactly are these bed-related ""accidents""? Pulled muscles? Unplanned pregnancies?"

Tough question? Simple answer!

Should I ride today, or stay in bed?
forget about comparing “consumer products” and getting yourself crazy with meaningless statistics.
The answer to your question is a simple, no brainer.
It depends on who you are in bed with.

"What if you sleep with your bicycle?

""As a kid, I had a dream - I wanted to own my own bicycle. When I got the bicycle, I must have been the happiest boy in Liverpool... Most kids left their bikes in the backyard at night. Not me. I insisted on taking mine indoors and the first night I even kept it in my bed.""

I once heard that sleeping with boney fashion models was like going to bed with a bicycle.
