The problem with bikes is not necessrely the rider himself but others. With a car you have a shell which protects you from being injured from minor hits. With a bike you have nothing other than your helmet. As a rider I am sure you have had to deal with people parked on the side and opening their door just in front of you. With a bike you have to be 10 times more carefull.
