How interesting.

What does it have to do with cycling?

Cyclists cause a fraction of that amount of accidents.

Bicyclists are also a fraction of the numbers of car drivers.
Sadly.


In terms of casualties per billion miles travelled, at 5,604, they are
only second to motorcyclists at 6,043. Other figures are pedestrians
1,801, cars 238, buses 198, vans 62 and LGVs 61. (2017 figures)
