    I think my point is to note that the real danger comes from drivers and that bicycling isn’t inherently so dangerous.

      There’s some danger, but yeah, nowhere near the level of danger that motor vehicles pose. I wear a helmet even if I’m not going on roads though because why not?

        I agree–I have always worn a helmet too. Then you look at places like Amsterdam where tens of thousands of people commute daily on bikes with no trouble, but I also guess that they have protected vias.
