This too.. can't believe I didn't mention it.. we had a good thread a while ago, IIRC the risks were lower for cycling than driving, and driving obviously has no positive health effects to balance risk.

The risk perhaps seems bigger to us cause we know lots of other cyclists and there is an internet echo chamber?
