That's simply not true in the big picture. Biking is a net benefit virtually everywhere; the risks are more than offset by the benefits to your lifespan. Biking is the opposite of dangerous.

    I mean I agree but you can't say riding on something like this "bike route" in Ottawa, Canada isn't a death wish

    Like, it's because of cars that its dangerous. I recognise that a lot of countries have much better infrastructure that makes it much safer but our infrastructure is shit. I say that as someone who does bike as a means of transport often
