According to their study, cycling commuters had:

A 47% lower risk of dying from any cause. A 10% lower chance of ending up in the hospital for any reason.

So statistically, it's safer than sitting on your ass all day, even including the risks.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
