Living is risky, but you ain't gonna stop living, are you?
Cycling is more dangerous than stamp collecting.
I guess the point is that there are risks in everything we do, you just have to prepare the best you can to lessen those risks.
if you are so worried about riding, however, you will probably not have a good time on the road, so maybe try mountain biking. The only risks there are falling off the side of a trail (which I have done) or running into wildlife (like the time I ran across a mountain lion).
But hey....
