I'm really surprised that Pennsylvania is in the middle of the pack and not up there with Texas, we have crappy gravel and pothole filled roads, are overrun with deer, have no helmet law,and drinking then riding is really common and the laws about it are rarely enforced. I just got in from a 90 mile back roads ride on a beautiful day (FINALLY) and the only place I saw more bikes than on the roads were the bar parking lots, rows of them outside each one, of course they must all be drinking water only since they are going to ride, right?

Maybe the shorter riding season for the casual riders helps keep the numbers down?
