According to the linked article below there were 14 deaths in 180m cycling trips in 2012. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cyclists-vs-motorists-a-phoney-war-between-two-tribes-who-should-be-on-the-same-side-8959679.html?google_editors_picks=true I do 400 of those a year to and from work (52*5 day weeks minus holidays/lazy days etc.) So (14/180m) * 400 = 0.003% chance of dying commuting in any year (Still higher than it should be) Or a 99.997% chance of survival Which sounds like the reverse of a Domestos ad. But their stats are possibly equally as floored as mine: http://boingboing.net/2009/12/18/what-kills-999-of-ge.html

Tell me if I'm getting this wrong but are you saying that you significantly improve your chances of survival if you rub yourself in Domestos before your commute?
Is there a specific amount I should use? Is it on skin or clothes?
