I'll go along with that. "About as safe as walking" is my view of cycling.
Unfortunately, People like Judith insist on posting figures that show only the dangers of cycling. I respond with figures to balance the picture. This whole threas started with such a posting from Judith. She knows the figure intimately, but chooses to post only those that imply cycling may be dangerous.
I'm just trying to provide a little balance.
