Dave, thats exactly what i was saying, im not preaching to everybody wrap yourselves up in cotton wool, but c'mon, certain people on bikes (not meaning anyone off here btw) take bigger risks and when you see them you know they are more likely to come a cropper than someone who doesnt.
Its also the numbers game imo, you ride like a **** for 20k a year as opposed to someone riding relatively safely doing 4k then law of averages they are more likely to get hurt or killed than the 4k rider.
You can do a whole host of activities (unnecassary ones i might add just like riding) fairly safely or dangerously, not just biking.
