Policy Key Facts The vast majority of pedestrians who are killed or

Hardly surprising. There are many more motor vehicles than bicycles.
Sadly.

Considering that cyclists are all law breakers (as we are repeatedly
told), one might be expected to believe it is not down to such simple
numbers.

Yes possibly.
Let's have some actual figures and research in order to prove something.

The best we have is that injuries are the same per vehicle-distance
travelled, ie, at face value, "law breaking" cyclists are no worse than
"law abiding" drivers.

The numbers also obviously have the deficiency of assuming motor
vehicles, cycles and people are spread uniformly over the country and
takes no account of the inherent lumpiness: there is no correlation
between casualties by vehicle-distance and casualties by population.
