i was doin' a fair bit of thinking about this over the weekend. spoke to my parents about it (my dad is a bike examiner and mummy was a riding instructor) basicly it's only as dangerous as you let it be. My dad covers around 300,000 miles a year and has been doing so since before i was born. he rides to work and at work he has to ride all day, and he has NEVER crashed. my mum done almost as much when she was riding and she also never crashed. so the percieved dangers of biking really shouldn't put you off. it's all down to the rider...
