If you increase the number of cyclists you'll see more accidents. If anything, the anonymity that accompanies cycling could result in more accidents if a larger portion of the population engages in it. I have seen bikes ride on the sidewalk, ringing their bells at pedestrians — even when there is a bike path. Sorry but that culture needs to change and demanding the whole world change first is just not going to suffice. As a sidenote, disregarding someone's life experience over statistics is antisocial behavior that only "works" on internet forums. You'll find, IRL, that RL stories are stickier and we need to listen and understand rather than just appeal to numbers (especially in post-truth "all numbers are lies" modern culture) /rode a bicycle for more than 40 years, drove three kids on a Panasonic e-mama chari to baseball games and school. Way worse than a car.
