I've been riding bikes for four years, only had one accident which was dropping my DT50 on the ice.

Been driving for 3 years, have had 3 accidents (1 was my fault, slid into a parked car in the snow last year)

I think they are lieing to us :/

must admit the stats do worry me,

sooner or later there's that character out there we are likely to come across

who hasn't had enough sleep, needs new glasses or simply isn't paying attention being on the phone or changing a cd...

What would make you give up biking?

Death, disability or too old to ride only.

I have got 37 years of biking in, so far. They haven't got me properly yet and I would have missed all of that if I decided that biking was too dangerous. I smoke too so I am trying to give the Grim Reaper the best possible odds I can.

Nothing will ever stop me from riding if I can't hold up 2 wheels then I will build a trike or strap on a side car. Not exactly the same but close enough.

As far a stats they don't hold much weight for me,once hear that your more likely to get hit by a buss than die in a plane crash, so does this mean if you never fly in a plane you will never get hit by a bus :question:

When I'm too old and feeble to swing my leg over the saddle I might consider giving up the bike. Or I might get one with a lower seat.
