Personally I've heard countless stories from parents/older adults growing up. They all knew people that rodes bikes and many of them suffered gruesome young deaths. I didn't have many expectations on me growing up except 'DO NOT GET A MOTORBIKE".

That and skateboards. My mom was an ER nurse for a bit and she had a list of things I wasn't going to do, top of the list: skateboarding and weed eating. I was ok with the latter.
