Travel in a car 6 miles with a bad tie rod end and very bad wheel bearing (wheel will fall off, lock up causing crash, with no insurance) or should i ride my bicycle @ 20mph down the 35mph road with out a helmet? Which is safer?

Answer
Probably the bike is safer, simply because there aren't things to break that would hurt you. (I'm assuming the bike is in good shape.) A 35 MPH road is a fairly decent road for riding.

Of course, the more interesting question of whether riding in a car versus a bike in terms of safety is hard to objectively study, mainly because it's difficult to obtain quality data on the number of miles traveled by bike out there. Certain (not too reliable) studies have suggested that travel by bike is between equally safe up to 10X as dangerous as travel by car. Of course then there are the issues about how skilled the rider is, and health benefits, and so on that are ignored in the analysis.

Is being allergic to bicycles a serious enough topic to ask about here in Y!A?

A few minutes ago, a user posted an answer telling me to ask question that really matters.
Don't you think that being allergic to bicycles matters? It can have serious consequence. I get two-tyred all the time with no energy to do anything.
