Default Cyclists and pedestrians in LA

There's been something of an upswing in car-pedestrian injuries in
particular. Car-bike injuries are less frequent and it's harder to
identify trends with (thankfully) few data points- just one such
accident increases or decreases the numbers by 20-25%. Good if we can
keep it that way.

So 36 pedestrian injuries plus one pedestrian fatality, vs. 4 cyclist
injuries and no fatalities.

Yet lots of people are afraid to ride a bike, and almost none are afraid
to walk.
