Yeah, but for most people quitting driving means they would also have to change their whole lifestyle to compensate. Whereas quitting cycling as a hobby is a singular choice. I'm not going to get into a debate about whether or not people should rely on driving as a means of transport, but the fact is that most people do. So when they have a crash they tend to resume driving asap so they can get on with their previous day-to-day existence. But if they have a crash while out recreational cycling they might well decide it's not worth the risk and find a new less risky hobby instead. It's just an easier decision to make, that's all.
