With a bike you are less inclined to go through a busy intersection, you can walk it across a busy street as a pedestrian or you could ride on the sidewalk in dangerous spots. You don't have those choices with a moped. A moped accelerates a lot faster than a bike allowing you to be more daring on the road. Don't get me wrong though, a bicycle ridden in an urban environment is also quite dangerous but not as dangerous as a moped. In a past life, I've cared for young and old people injured riding mopeds (and bicycles) in urban environments. Some sustained, serious injuries, some died and donated their organs, and others ended up in persistent vegetative states. Don't do it!!!
