A micromort is a unit of risk defined as a one-in-a-million chance of death.
According to this page, cycling 28 miles in a day incurs a risk of one micromort.
This page tells me that getting out of bed after age 45 incurs a risk of six micromorts. Going for a swim risks twelve; playing football (the American flavor, "handegg") risks 20.
You can keep your benighted high-viz-yellow cycling gear. Put that high-viz-yellow on your swim trunks and football jerseys.
