    I upvoted you, because what you are saying is true, but so is the original post. “Dangerous” and “Healthier” are very different. Biking is definitely more dangerous in North America, though I’m not sure about bike friendly places, and would be curious to see statistics from somewhere like the Netherlands. Danger does not consider the benefits of an activity, only the downsides. Health, on the other hand is usually short hand for longevity or lack of health conditions, and on average, even with the danger, people who get around by bike live longer.*
