Will I die while cycling to work?

Statistically very few, if any, people die cycling on a motorway.
It must be safe.
We should have more of it.

According to the linked article below there were 14 deaths in 180m cycling trips in 2012.

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:

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?

Before rather than during will improve your chances of survival, yes.

Beware..
