More than in anywhere else? Citation needed.

I ran the numbers for myself. Statistically, the amount of time I save per day by riding a motorcycle in San Francisco heavily outpaces the number of average life-minutes lost due to the risks of riding a motorcycle.

Those are the minutes spent stuck in traffic vs the minutes spent being dead. Some people might want to use a weighted model here.

Minutes spent stuck in traffic, to me, are almost worse than being dead.
