I think we're really talking about the psychology of young people versus mature folk. Regardless of the activity, whether cycling or driving, younger people with less life experience will take more risks. How they survive their choices is a form of social Darwinism.
It was the same two thousand years ago as it is today. What is really pathetic is the mature adults who still behave recklessly on bicycles or in cars. I wonder what their excuses are?
