It isn't a matter of opinion, the government collects data. Look it up. In the UK there is one cycling death for every 28 million miles cycled. Serious (but not necessarily life-threatening) injuries happen about every 500,000 miles. US figures are worse, I believe, but not dramatically so. Google for them.
