I see a number of responses along the lines of "why would you think cyclists are victims here?" so I took a look at the data. (I'm not sure that what I'm looking at is the exact same files as used by this map.) https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/reported-road-accidents-vehicles-and-casualties-tables-for-great-britain https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/reported... Document RAS0601 there describes "collisions and casualties by vehicle and road user type involved". This is for the whole UK, not just London. I'll look at figures for 2022, which unsurprisingly is the most recent year in the data. Other recent years look broadly similar. Sheet "Pedestrians": 385 pedestrians were killed in road accidents. None of them were by pedal cycles. 5908 were "killed or seriously injured"; 159, or about 2.7%, were by pedal cycles. 19327 were casualties of some kind; 462, or about 2.4%, were by pedal cycles. Sheet "Casualties_vehicle_type": In collisions involving at least one pedal cycle, 94 people were killed. (None of those can have been pedestrians; see previous paragraph.) 4026 were "killed or seriously injured". (159 of those were pedestrians; see previous paragraph. That's about 4%.) 16520 were casualties of some kind. (462 of those were pedestrians; see previous paragraph. That's about 3%.) So it seems as if collisions involving bikes kill no more than about 1% as many pedestrians as cyclists, and kill-or-seriously-injure about 4% as many pedestrians as cyclists, and injure-a-all about 3% as many pedestrians as cyclists. So, yes, overwhelmingly cyclists are victims rather than causes of injury and death in collisions. (And overwhelmingly when pedestrians are injured or killed in collisions, those collisions do not involve bicycles.) Again, that's for the UK as a whole. I suspect London is more dangerous for everyone, but it seems unlikely to me that cyclists in London are more dangerous by a much greater ratio than that by which they're more in danger. (My guess is that it's the other way around.)
