Yes. They are. I have been down at 60+ miles an hour, on a freeway, in So. Cal. (The 91 in anaheim) on a friday at about 6:00 p.m. How I survived w/ no major injuries I do not know. I was struck by a woman that freaked about something in the road, there was absolutely nothing I could do to avoid it. It was a perfect storm kind of situation.
I was extremely lucky, I was even able to ride the bike the next day.
If you ride in the dirt, you are likely to crash, stuff happens.
If you go through life being afraid to get hurt, you will never live. If you don't take some risks, then you never realize the benefits.
I haven't had a bike for better than 20 years, I miss it all the time, almost every day. I will have one again.
