I have been avoiding updating my Commute Log spreadsheet, because I knew what would happen.
This week, I fell down below 2.0: that is, I've ridden my bike less than twice as many days as I've driven my car. 31 bike commute work days and 16 work days in the car. The earliest I see myself commuting again is MAYBE Monday March 19th. That will mark two weeks from my accident. It also depends a lot on what my Ear/Nose/Throat doctor says on the 14th after he checks my sinuses out. If I get back on the bike again on the 19th, I'll be working my commute:drive ratio from less than 1.5. Gone are my dreams of getting above 3.0 by the end of March. I'll be lucky to get there by the end of May. My target miles for March (I was hoping for 170-200) are also shot.
I just might (if my Diamondback Outlook is fixed and I find a helmet) do the Recovery Ride on Monday the 12th. In a group ride setting, I'm very unlikely to get hit or fall over, and I really am aching to get back on the bike.

Ratio back down below 2.0

You can "stop the bleeding" so to speak, by not going to work till you can ride again.
Statistics are just that, statistics. What you are showing is that you have passed a hard test. IE you are willing to keep riding after a crash.
That is what counts.
I have not taken this test and I pray I don't have to.
