Touch wood, I've managed
to not yet break a single bone, let alone come close to killing myself.
After a quick add-up, I've lost umpteen times the amount of skin to pushbiking than motorbiking.
Very sadly, the majority of the bruises associated with biking have occurred with spanner firmly gripped in hand, too :(
I ride like a 70-year-old (apparently), wear hi-vis and body-armour, assume that if anyone's actually seen me it's just to take aim with their 4x4, spent a silly amount on a helmet on the basis of crash-tests, etc etc.
Still great fun, certainly different to driving, and everyone physically capable should only be allowed a car license after a stint on 2 wheels to learn about physics in relation to motor vehicles.
Just not something I do for any kind of adrenaline-rush, I suspect unlike your organ-donors...
