Surry Uni did a 5 year study and found that cycling is more dangerous than biking. 5 years? I could have told them that in 5 seconds.

EDIT: Lol, I meant cycling is more dangerous than driving. Teach me to post too early eh?
 
It depends on what you mean by dangerous:
1 Is that injuries per mile travelled or injuries per hour?
2 Does it also include heart disease etc as a risk and the exercise benefits of cycling?
3 What does it define as an injury? Grazed knee?

Interestingly the British Medical Association has the opposite view, and that on balance the risks of a road accidents are outweighed by the extra life that the health benefits give.

56.78% of statistics are made up on the spot.

To be fair, the difference between cycling and biking can be fairly subtle, and probably demands a thread of its own. :lol:
 
This sort of thing really boils my piss How long did this study take? whats the point of it? scaremongering ? A person on a bike and a cyclist are two different things ,a man running is not a runner. If you are an idiot you are more likely to have accidents or cause them.
 
Takes a deep breath ................ there I feel better now, saw this on the beeb this morning and had to switch it off.
