British cyclists are four times as likely to be killed as those in the
Netherlands
Netherlands 17 million people totalĀ* 200 cyclists a year dead
UK 65 million people about a hundred cyclists a year dead
How does that mean UK cyclists are 4 times as likely to get killed?
Try this calculation;
The average cycling distance per person cycled in the UK is 52 miles per
annum, whilst a person in the Netherlands cycles 1000 km a year.
