The author's major points: Sidewalks seem MUCH more dangerous than
roads, and cycling by vehicle rules seems MUCH safer than being, um,

I only skimmed the web page, but this jumped out at me: "...and
nothing is split by seriousness..."

Is he saying that the data only records "Collision" vs
"Non-Collision"? i.e. The data does (do?) not discriminate
between something like road rash/bruises and getting squashed by
a bus?

The original report at http://phoenix.gov/STREETS/2007bike.pdf does
count the number of "serious or fatal" crashes, 63 of them. It doesn't
break down crash types by serious vs. minor, from what I can see.
