    Even in area not made for bikes, the health benefits outweight the risk of getting killed by a car in the total longevity.
    This become false when the road have too much traffic: air pollution damage start to outweight the health benefits of doing sport.

      Areas not made for bikes also tend to have a lot of car traffic

      In any case, the health benefits of bikes can be easily achieved by other means, so I don’t think it’s worth bringing up.
