I am having exactly these kind of thoughts. My girlfriend and everyone is always moaning about how unsafe bikes are, but I love them and say you can get killed in many other ways like crossing the road on foot. But recently (I suppose thanks to joining this forum) I have heard of many bike deaths all very quickly and its very unsettling. I think I am a safe rider, but I can't really compare me to anyone else. My Dad has had a bike for most of his life, and not had any serious accidents. Are there many people like him? Can you own a bike your whole life and not be crippled or killed?
I have no other form of transport, so I have to ride in this weather, but I take it very easy. All my mates were terrible reckless young drivers until they each had a crash, then they became safer. I decided to just do the safe driving bit without the crash to wake you up.
