I wonder if this has anything to do with the Cadet who was killed in an accident while riding his bicycle to the station for a call in PA some time ago? No matter HOW you respond, anything can happen whether you are on foot, bike, motorcycle, in a car, a truck or a van.
In the last 5 yrs there have been 4 accidents while responding to calls. Three of those were cars, 1 motorcycle. These 4 incidents involve only 2 ffs, 2 accidents each. They are no longer with us.
Woops, I forgot another incident. It happened with 2 POVs, both had reached the scene safely. One driver should have chosen a better place to park his vehicle. The Ranger slid slowly down a wet, muddy embankment into the Chief's full size Chevy truck.

I use to ride my bike to the station all the time so I do not see a problem with it.

I think as long as you can respond to the station in a timely manner, and without exerting yourself too much so that you've still got energy to spend at the incident, there's nothing wrong with riding a bicycle. Just don't duct tape a blue light to the handlebars...LOL
