I had a bad motorbike crash 5 years ago, and I got back on, but subsequently recently sold the bike because I wasn't getting the same enjoyment out of it.and, although my wife said she didn't mind, she was obviously less keen on me biking after the smash.
I did consider the family thing at the time but, biking made me happy so decided to continue, at least for a while.
My wife had a bad cycle crash last year and that made me think about cycling, but the love of it is too much. The way I look at it, if you minimise risk by good observation etc, the risk is lessened. A lot of the statistics relate to cyclists who don't ride much and have no road sense.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
