As long as you are not a dumbass and pay attention to both yourself and other drivers, a bike should be fine. You just have to be more aware of other people, and weather conditions, and road conditions. But as long as you are not ripping down the highway and driving like a complete douche bikes are great. It also kind of depends on the city that you live in. You will learn what roads to avoid, and which ones are safe. You may have to drive a little further to get where you want (not taking the direct route) but things should be fine.
I say get the bike! Just be responsible.
