You missed the word deliberately after ridden.

You missed the point. If large numbers of cycles are deliberately
ridden on the footway, legally or not, and vehicles are rarely
driven deliberately on the footway, then how much more stark is the
contrast between the injury figures, with motor vehicles accounting
for many times more reported injuries to pedestrians on the footway
than cycles.

Note the word 'reported'
It is obvious that a pedestrian collision with a motor vehicle would
usually be more serious than a cycle collision.

How often is it seen that a motor vehicle is deliberately driven on the
footway as opposed to the number of times a cycle is deliberately ridden
on the footway?
