    Bikes are so dangerous! Imagine all the scrapes and bruises! Not like the safety of cars or trains or airplanes. 99% safe! Sure you can run over bikes with all three, you can die in the accident in all three and the only difference is how many fractured bones each can provide…car…from 1 rib to all bones broken and entrails squeezed out like toothpaste…train… complete instantaneous chopping of any body part… airplane…from 1 rib, to chopped up parts, to liquification, misting or powdering plus extreme heat if you’re lucky. But not as dangerous as a bike.
