I cycle to and from work too and when I have a motorised vehicle it is a motorbike. Not riding a motorbike at the moment though because every motorbike I've ever owned I've written off and my shoulder is still recovering from my last big crash.
The "better safety" argument used by "soccer moms" is incredibly selfish because while it might be safer for them and their family it makes it less safe for other road users. And sure, they are high up so they have better visibility but it reduces visibility for the smaller vehicles around them. I have nothing but contempt for that mindset. I want to keep my family safe too but not if it means metaphorically flipping the bird to the rest of my community.
Rant over.
