Susan, you are not really in danger.
Ian Walker of the University of Bath published a very impressive study in 2006 showing that:
* cyclists with helmets get hit more by cars than cyclists without
* females with long hair (or in his case, a male with a wig) get less hid by cars.

So keep the ponytail

[I'm not joking, I will provide the reference if someone is interested]
