knifes kill people too

but I'm sure you use them

Guns kill people too, but they love them in the US, they love them so much that they put them in the hands of kids and let them go the school to shoot other kids

Cars are not unsafe, people driving them are.

It's the same people that ride bikes.

You have them confused.

As Conan's father said:

"No one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts."

BTW

If you like to live, don't ride a bike.

Your parent's incorrect assumption is an enlightening one. You were correct to read my comment as one on the dangers presented to other road users.
Bikes are safe?

Let's see if it's true

Which one of the two looks safer to you?
