> There don't appear to be great statistics on bicycle deaths per mile and by cause but what I found is in line with my contention. "Cyclists are either 3.4x or 11.5x as likely to die as motorists, per passenger mile." And that's only fatalities, not injuries.
That's in the US, notorious for bicycling infrastructure that varies between not-great and abysmal.
If you compare cycling fatalities per mile in Denmark or Norway with MV fatalities per mile in the US, things are approximately a wash.
