Yeah, our brains have a tough time aligning perceived risk w/actual risk lol. Pretty much everybody in my family thinks I'm insane for wanting to ride my bike in the city. With the exception of one, they've never ridden themselves! And almost never drive in the city, either. Riding is really very safe if you stick to small roads w/the bike lanes & don't go too fast.
