True, and the same goes for 'safer'.
That's the trouble when we start using common language to describe scientific results. Words such as safe and dangerous have a host of meanings and are imbued with all sorts of values and connotations.
You should really quote death rates for men and woman cyclists (if you know them), not forgetting to include a denominator, for example:
*There is one female death for every X miles cycled and one male death for every Y miles cycled *
This does not make any value judgment.
