its been a while since I looked it up, but I think the numbers were like 20X more fatalities and injuries with motorcycles than bicycles. Bikes are much slower - you can still get taken out by a car, but most crashes are going to involve much lower speed on a bike vs a motorcycle.

Yes there's some risk riding your bike. For some reason, however, people pretend like there's no risk getting in your car and driving 70mph down the interstate. I've known of a few people either killed or severely injured in car wrecks in the past couple years. No one mentioned giving up driving after hearing those stories.
