Can anyone point us some statistics that compare bicycle versus motorcycle safety? I do know that the most common way to loose a limb traumatically is riding a motorcycle. I lost my left leg below the knee in an automobile accident and as a result I have met a quite a few people who have lost a leg in a motorcycle accident though actually the most common way to loose a leg overall is through circular problem mostly from diabetes. I have never known of anyone loosing a limb through bicycling. Death is the most common result of a well publicized bicycle versus automobile accident.
