Do these figure take into account that the majority of car miles
are on trunk roads where there are few, if any, pedestrians? Whilst
bicycles spend most of their time in urban environments.
If not then they are worthless.
They do. On urban roads Pushbikes seriously injure 26 pedestrians
per billion km and kill 0.5, cars seriously injure 10 and kill 0.7.
So you love to push this. Irrespective of car bike/figures, explain why
you think pedestrian casualties per vehicle-distance is meaningful. Try
to bear in mind my earlier point about figures from France that show no
connection.
