First, what studies?
Where do they get accurate numbers for rates of injury, especially for a person who bikes a lot? Such a person is going to be a lot more physically fit than the average population, less susceptible to injury, and hopefully more coordinated.
Do you REALLY think biking in traffic is every bit as safe as walking from your living room to the toilet?
