I'd love to get a bike. But everyone else on the road is driving half a ton of glass and metal at high speed, and I've got a helmet and a leather jacket to repel that.
I grew up next to a guy who had every muscle fo his right arm ripped out in a bike accident in Darwin.
Its always seemed like a no-brainer not to get one.
Probably a wise choice. A bike rider does have the advantages of greater manueverability and acceleration. You can avoid collisions better than a car but you need to be on your toes constantly.
