The population of SF is ~840k.
The SFMTA estimates that 16% of San Francisco residents are "frequent cyclists", defined as cycling two or more days per week.
That means ~135k frequent cyclists.
184:10,000,000 = .0184 per 1,000
10:135,000 = .0741 per 1,000
SF = 4x higher
For SF to be safer than the Netherlands, bike deaths need to pretty much disappear.
