Can you tell me if it's worth renting a bike in Bangkok if I'm going to ride around the center regularly?

I moved to a car after I witnessed 3 accidents involving a bike during the week. Bikers crunch like chips. Once a car ran over me when I was standing at a traffic light, but fortunately without consequences. So it all depends on your insurance and skill. But there are advantages: there are no traffic jams, you can park everywhere, the cost of gasoline is modest. Cons in addition to the above: it's hot (especially if it presses next to the bus at the traffic light), the rains are also not pleasant, it's stupidly tedious to go far. Bike to take only a scooter on the machine with a lot of effort to swing your hands and stand in traffic jams.

Yeah. It's super fun and there's no traffic.
