| First of all, bikes are notoriously more dangerous than cars. No matter how anyone puts it, bikes are inherently more dangerous, cars have safety features that are simply not present on bikes.

A picture is worth a thousand words > Basing numbers on per billion miles travelled takes the raw numbers and adjusts them for exposure https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4a0f8be5f3583d076974c1... What is immediately evident is that the less protections you have around you and the more you can go fast (if you can, you will), the more fatality rate is high. The idea that if we could only move by bike there would be less accident is a false one There would be less accidents for sure, because only a tiny fraction of the actual driver's population would go by bike. But they would probably start falling from horses or have carriage accidents |
