> That said, the vulnerability of cyclists to cars poses its own lethal risks. But these aren't anywhere close enough to outweigh the benefits from lower obesity. (They'd add about 90,000 and 160,000 additional deaths per year for the two levels of use.) And, if fewer drivers are using cars, there's a chance that these numbers would come in even lower. Are they using the existing car->cyclist kill risk for this? The only way you would actually get people to bike more is by making it safer via dedicated infrastructure, so this figure would necessarily be lower.
