Considering that in NYC cars transport hundreds of thousands of times the number of people that bicycles do, the pedestrian death toll for bicycles per useful unit of transit is far higher than that of motor vehicles. And of course accidents will happen. I am referring to being nearly hit at high speed several times by cyclists who were blatantly disregarding the traffic signal. It's just needlessly reckless. Also, you have not addressed the issue of why someone who is allegedly healthy enough to cycle would be so lazy as to want to avoid having to stop at a signal and pedal to get up to speed again.
