This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Collisions can still kill or injure you badly if the other person is driving a car

Also if you accidentally hit someone at speed and their head cracks open on a hard surface they could die

So I'm not entirely sure about that claim

1- The dangerous vehicle here is clearly the car, not the bike. You literally made a point in favor of bikes. Also next point would make this scenario basically imposible.

2- The claim was worded as "significantly less likely to kill or even injure", which is factually correct, even with cars into the ecuation. If two cars collide at a high speed, there's a lot more energy in the crash than if a car and a bike collide. I've had quite a few accidents with a bike, some of them including cars and pedestrians, only once I got actually injured on an arm.
