The article mentions that by the metric of all causes of death, the bikers still have a 40% lower death rate.
There have been a number of other studies that put the expected increased lifespan (due to better health) vs expected decreased lifespan (due to accident) anywhere from 7:1 to 70:1. And that is just mortality; biking brings a host of benefits on top of that.
