I hear the same thing over and over. People telling me not to get a bike, they are death traps...etc. However life has to involve some risk, otherwise there is no reward. Sure i could be a hermit and live till 120 years old, but whats the point? Now im not saying it doesnt freak me out, because it really does.
I think that fear helps me concentrate and make my riding experience the most enjoyable and safest i possibly can. Yes there is risk, everything has a degree of risk, its how you deal with it and lower the odds of injury that matters.
