Operating (or riding in) a motor vehicle of any kind has risks - it's inherent. Only way to avoid it is to completely removed from it... even then peds get killed. It's rather hard to avoid.

Here's my hypothesis:
1. The weather. It was dang hot this summer. I think a record was tied for most consecutive days above 90.
2. Gas prices. Went up.
3. Some LEOs unfairly targeting some bikes. Lots of chatter on forums about some VA state police officers in particular.
These contribute to 17.7% less joy riding.
