But cars do a lot of miles on freeways/motorways with relatively low accidents per mile and these are the sorts of journeys that would be impractical by bicycle

But cars do a lot of miles on freeways/motorways with relatively low accidents per mile and these are the sorts of journeys that would be impractical by bicycle anyway.
You would have to compare trip for trip.
- asdfologist 13y agoAccidents per mile != fatalities per mile. I'm guessing fatalities per accident on freeways/motorways are much higher than in residential districts. But I agree you have to compare trip for trip.
- jiggy2011 13y agoThat's true, but I was thinking more of back roads with lots of blind corners and speeds high enough to be dangerous. It would also be interesting to compare day and night, because cycling in the dark is probably much more dangerous even with high visibility clothing.
