Bicycles more dangerous than cars? I guess I must have missed all the stories about people being run over by bikes.

Also, bikes more dangerous than unicycles?
I've never seen some ride a unicyle on a road in regular traffic, which is where most of the danger of riding a bike is.
Do those electric unicycles without a seat count? Because those are weaving through traffic at insane speeds all the time where I live.
Oh wow, never seen one of these. No idea.
Bike on pedestrian violence is an epidemic!
I see what you mean about net safety and not just thinking about the operator of the mode of transport. Will look into this later.
