It's the other way around, overwhelmingly so: "With 290 cyclist fatalities in 2022, cyclists were the largest group of road casualties." [1] "Cycling prevents about 6500 deaths each year, and Dutch people have half-a-year-longer life expectancy because of cycling. These health benefits correspond to more than 3% of the Dutch gross domestic product. Our study confirmed that investments in bicycle-promoting policies (e.g., improved bicycle infrastructure and facilities) will likely yield a high cost–benefit ratio in the long term." [2] --- That's just the big picture though, I suspect your statistics are wrong directly as well. Cycling deaths are very skewed towards the elderly [3], so it appears that if you're under 50, cycling is statistically safer than driving, no matter how you look at it. --- [1]: https://english.kimnet.nl/publications/publications/2023/11/30/summary-mobility-report-2023 https://english.kimnet.nl/publications/publications/2023/11/...
