Bike riders also more likely to be hit by cars. Most of the people I know who ride regularly have been hit at least once.

Been riding for over 70 years. I ride at least 3 times a week now. Never been hit by a car.
When I rode a lot for exercise, I never was hit. But debris in the road locked up my tires twice and caused some nasty crashes. Sometimes, the injuries are worse than the benefits, if not careful. Stationary bikes are much safer, but I find that a boring activity.
Most bike riders are idiots who don’t follow the rules of traffic.
I recently nearly took out a group of 4 going in the middle of the road — the wrong way against the flow of traffic after they blew through a red light.
Off-road biking is an option, tor those that would rather hit trees.
