OK, risk of being killed while biking is zero, but you can not remove/ignore the risks of the sedentary life
. Additionally, with over 30,000 US traffic fatalities every year, using the roads is still risky. Tragically, most people in the US totally ignore health risks, but think biking is high-risk. There is a balance in all risk analysis, but you make poor choices when you only consider some of the risk factors.
I recently read that a more accidents happen in your home than any where else, so I'm going to move.
