Interesting fact: Hour by hour, you're no less likely to have a plane crash than you are a car crash. In that scenario your limited exposure is what keeps you from likely ever being involed in a plane crash.
There are, however, TONS of people that go without ever causing an accident and managing to avoid everything public roads throw at them. How? They're experienced. I've put some stupid amount of miles on my bike and I've NEVER been hit by another car. I've acquired enough skills to, relatively safely, ride on the street reliably. Limited exposure isn't the key - maximum exposure is the key. I ride when it's 25* out as long as it's not snowing. You're never going to train yourself to react properly if you don't spend any time riding.
Professional sportsmen don't get better by only spending a few minutes training each month. They get better by devoting their lives to improvement. The same principle applies here.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
