The Florida bike path denizen seems to be dimly realizing that different metrics are possible! That is, one can measure relative "danger" per participant, per hour, per mile, per trip, etc. And perhaps he may someday realize the fundamental metric might be measurement of benefit vs. detriment - for example, does an activity confer more or less health, more or fewer years of life, etc.

than twice the number of bicycling accidents.
Case in point:
There are more people hurt or killed by way of bicycle accidents than
there are for mountain climbers, so by Krygowski's standards,
bicycling is more dangerous than mountain climbing.

Furthermore, the previous claim of comparing the mileage is also a
ridiculously stupid way to evaluate the statistics given the total
amount of time the personas engaged in the activities are vulnerable
to having an accident.
Rational intelligent people could discuss the merits of these metrics. But the Florida bike path denizen wouldn't qualify.
Still, I always wonder what makes an avid cyclist argue so strongly that riding a bicycle is terribly dangerous?
I think it's fear. More specifically, if a man "proves" that riding anywhere but on a bike path (and while carrying a gun "for protection"!) is so, so dangerous, he feels a bit better about his own timidity.
Likewise, saying that bicycling requires no knowledge or skill beyond balancing makes him feel a bit better about his near-total ignorance.
It's a variation of a common theme: "Nobody needs to know math! I been a successful garbage man for years and I ain't never passed a math class!"
