Easy:

Surly Troll; 32lbs
Ford F-150; 4,021 - 5,740lbs
Insurance deductible for grillwork on truck; Varies w/policy

Oh, I see?

Here ya go, 1,000 cyclists dead, another 130,000 injured each year.



...and if ya don’t think having to come up with the deductible to patch up the truck after hitting one of them idiot cyclists qualifies as “danger” then ya plainly ain’t been in enough car wrecks.
