I voted many years, it was about 45 years back.
Not really.I doubt if I will get a lorry driving through my living room or almost collide with a land rover at the same location.
I have yet to collide with three pedestrians in my house while having a car and bus trailing me.
I moved from Germany to the UK one year ago. In those 12 month I've been asked the "isn't it dangerous?" question while cycling more often than in the 10 years before. I'm not quite sure if that's due to the general health and safety madness or if cycling really is percieved differently in this country.
cycling is dangerous - as dangerous as life in general is
I prefer to wear neither.
Well, I think you're "misunderestimating" ;-) how many accidents are in fact happening at home. some interesting figures are available hete, for example http://www.capt.org....20accidents.pdf
