Is Millbrae safe to ride a bike?

We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. The records for Millbrae are also incomplete: only 48% of its reported bike crashes have a map location, so the numbers here are too low.
