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?


For someone that likes to think that pedestrian casualties per
vehicle-distance is meaningful, it is obviously something that goes way
over your head.
