More seriously, you can easily hit a rock or something and go over the handlebars on a bike path.

- seoaeu 4y agoThere’s worlds of difference between crashing your bike versus being hit by a car while riding your bike. Yeah, it’ll hurt either way, but the former is substantially less likely to be fatal
