If something wrong happens on my bike.... I flick out into the road, not my bike. I'd much rather have a piece of wood, metal and plastic nail a car than me with my bike

That doesn't stop me from riding my bike... why? Because I can go faster than a skateboard if I want to. I'm normally hanging out at a jogging pace - enjoying the view
