But... have you framed "danger" apprppriately?

"According to a study by the British Medical Association, the average gain in "life years" through improved fitness from cycling exceeds the average loss in “life years” through cycling fatalities by a factor of 20 to 1."

That's an interesting quote. There are probably other ways to achieve the same fitness benefits though.
