1. [James McBride. Journalist. “The Economics of Hosting the Olympic Games.” Published by the Council on Foreign Relations January 19, 2018. No page number given.]
Cities must first invest millions of dollars in evaluating, preparing, and submitting a bid to the IOC. The cost of planning, hiring consultants, organizing events, and the necessary travel consistently falls between $50 million and $100 million. Tokyo spent as much as $150 million on its failed 2016 bid, and about half that much for its successful 2020 bid, while Toronto decided it
could not afford the $60 million it would have needed for a 2024 bid.
2. [“Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers,” Consumer Reports pg 34. Author not given.. Published 2000]
Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head.
