Bicycling is no more a lone activity than is driving your car. As a
matter of fact, bicyclists can interact much better with others on the
road/street/sidewalk because they are not enclosed in a metal box.
Driving a car is one of the most dangerous activities in which most
Americans engage every day, and yet, almost no one hesitates to drive or
be a passenger in a car. Even in a car, we could be killed at any moment
or run off the road by an ass who intentionally or unintentionally does
something malicious or stupid.
The more bicyclists there are on the road, the less we will feel alone.
Ditto with pedestrians. You are only alone if no one else is on the
road, and in that case, you really only need to worry about
riding/driving off the road yourself.

The bicycle is primarily a "lone" activity
except for some club group rises--so safety in numbers is not the
answer. And with fewer and fewer fit people and even PBS showing that
trend will not change, the fit bicyclist will truly remain an "elite"
class.
