Is it? No idea.

People have completely skewed ideas about the risks involved in cycling though. Cycling (whether to work or anywhere else) makes people live longer. (Not surprisingly, given inactivity is now the world's 4th biggest killer.) but people get terrified by the tiny number of cycling deaths each year (whereas they think nothing about driving, which kills thousands). One of those strange cases where our brains mangle probabilities and facts.
