Minneapolis is pretty bike-safe. Bike lanes, commuter trails. Bicyclists should have helmets, lights and ride carefully at night. I'm not sure how good Durham is, but I don't think this is the time or place to say that its just more logical to pay to get around your city.

Also, if you wanted to be purely logical about it you would have to balance the health benefits of cycling regularly against the risk of accidents.

By this logic, I certainly shouldn't drive anywhere, instead I would commute by commercial aircraft or heavy rail locomotive.
