Talk:2940: Modes of Transportation

I'd say a bicycle is way less dangerous than a car

Considering only the two vehicles themselves, I would probably agree with you but this comic is about convenience and danger of various means of transport. Wouldn't you agree that using a bicycle for transport in crowded city traffic is rather more dangerous to the cyclist than using a car is to the driver?

It depends on whether you're comparing worst case injuries versus injury rate. Since airliners are considered one of the safest, I think it's injury rate. Barmar (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Most deaths are either due to involved cars or people doing races or stunts.

I would not count "died because plane crashed onto road" into car dangers, as I would not count F1 driver death into the same bucket as car commuters.

So I would do the same for bikes. 172.68.192.196 21:36, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
