Fortunately, it doesn't need to be so.

Countries like the Netherlands and Denmark have invested heavily in road safety in general and bicycle safety in particular.

By taking many measures among which things like: physically separating bicycles from cars, reducing speed limits, introducing traffic calming, and conversely by building better highways for the cars to use instead ; these countries have been making bicycling something that is very safe for people of all ages. (and en passant may have also made walking and driving safer too)
