Bikes make it easier to do something stupid. Riding also makes you think that you're safer than you actually are (in my opinion anyway).
Someone on HT made an excellent analogy about riding (paraphrasing), 'Riding bikes is more like flying a plane than driving a car. Riding a sportbike is like flying a fighter jet.'
To take it one step further, I've heard more than once on fighter pilot documentaries and the like that a pilot's IQ drops 10 points when he steps in the cockpit. This is because of the fact that you have to be constantly paying attention to (and processing) a lot more things when riding.
So yeah, riding makes you stupid. This is especially unfortunate for those who don't have much IQ to begin with...
