And yet, cyclists ride on public highways and, from reading the news,
bike deaths are not really common.


Attitude of drivers. In this country, assault or murder by ICE only
attracts a wrist slap.


Possibly so as here if an auto hits a bicycle and kills the rider the
police will arrest the driver of the auto. Whether or not the court
will penalize the driver depends largely on the circumstances. In a
case where a guy in a pickup ran into two bikes and killed both riders
the driver was charged with causing death by dangerous driving, which
carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail.
