Out of personal curiosity, wondering if anyone has seen any statistics that show cycling deaths versus car deaths on the roads, by either miles traveled or annual drivers/cyclists? I did some websurfing and found data such as this:
http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/facts_stats/
and this:
http://trafficsafety.org/safety/sharing/bike/bike-facts/bike-injuries-fatalities
and this:
http://www.airlinereporter.com/2010/09/flying-is-safe-and-i-am-going-to-prove-it/
but they only show total number of deaths per vehicle type (sometimes versus the overall population), without comparative usage/travel amounts. We all [i]know[/i] (because [i]they[/i] tell us) that flying is safest method of travel in terms of deaths per passenger miles, but I haven't been able to find any comparative data for cycling deaths.
Just curious!

Yes it had some helmet stats and I posted them in here might have it bookmarked somewhere. Was basically rospa review of cycling.
Any figure for miles travelled would be a wild guess tbh.
