> the safety risk just becomes too high to stomach

Check out chart 2:

To share with everyone else, chart 2 shows 12x more fatalities per mile traveled for bikes compared to cars.

On the other hand, is shows that pedestrians and cyclists have the same rate of fatalities per mile traveled.

So better to not walk or cycle and just stick to your car /s

It absolutely is more safe to put a child in a car in a car seat than to put them on your bike. I wouldn’t even do that outside a city, on a quiet paved bike path.

Reference is the s-bahn ring:

The Berlin S-Bahn Ring is a looping railway around the city center. It excludes some higher density areas in the north of the city and includes some less populated areas in the south of the city, but being inside the ring is the most accepted benchmark of living in the city core.

it says right at the beginning "I live in Berlin".
