    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.
