An excellent article from World Watch's last ever issue covers bicycling around the world.
Here's a quote on safety:
"Research suggests that the perception of bicycling as dangerous is exaggerated. Data fromAustralia show that a person is seven times more likely to be hospitalized playing football than riding a bike, for example. And the BritishMedical Association has reported that the health risks of inactivity are 20 times greater than the risks from cycling."
