No... I actually talked a friend out of buying a bike as a daily driver.

However I would not tell anyone not to ride a bike as long as they are a sane adult they are free to make there own decisions and take the risks associated with those decisions.

Every choice we make has consequences, if you walk across the street you could get run over by a drunk driver, if you go swimming you could drown, if you want the thrill of skydiving you take the chance that something might go wrong. With many things in life the excitement of doing it seems to be directly proportional with the risk involved but you can't lock yourself in the house and never come out because you are afraid of the world... well I suppose you could but it wouldn't be much of a life.

I love riding motorcycles but I think it is something I could live without... too much chance of someone else f'ing up and ruining your day (or life)... and the coyotes... those sneaky coyotes...

When I first got my Porsche I went blasting by a friend going in the opposite direction, next time I saw her she said "your driving too fast, your going to kill yourself in that thing!"
