Then why do you keep saying "more common" and "in most cases" and other such terms that hint at some sort of statistical information?

I never said I think you are safer there. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SAYING that you are just as safe there. I am a proponent of riding in the bike lane or on the road, whichever is more comfortable and fun for YOU (the person riding).
Shame on you, putting words in my mouth? Now comes the personal attacks again right? I'll save you the time.
I have an IQ below 110.
I have reading comprehension problems.
I have issues with understanding written English.
Did I forget something?

Then stop talking like there is information out there "proving" this. I have already stated how you do so.

No, that's where I feel more comfortable and think is funner to ride. But I do think that the shoulder/bike lane is safer to take in most circumstances, which I have already explained, over and over and over and over... god I'm going to vomit.
Shame on you for putting words in my mouth again.
I shall have to smack your hand with a ruler if you do it again.
