Well then maybe, everyone should just get on a bicycle and ride it to avoid brain injury.

In a 1998 radio phone-in program an Alberta doctor reported that there are on the order of 10.000 brain injuries suffered annually in this province. Some 80% of these are due to strokes and heart attacks, with the remaining 20% being traumatic brain injuries. Of these remaining 2,000 about one half were as a result of motor vehicle collisions, and following the reasoning presented above, only about 50 or so will be a result of bicycle falls or collisions. As cycling can result in many physiological changes that lead to a reduction in the risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack, it may be counterproductive to emphasise the numbers of cycling related brain injuries, and the health risks associated with cycling.
