I had to stop reading after the first paragraph. Proving Mark Twain's lies, damn lies and statistics quote these folks used amazing sleight of hand to greatly exaggerate (by implication) the bicycle fatality rate.
The pedestrian traffic fatality is roughly 6 times that for bicyclists. By combining the two, they can elevate the 2-3% bicyclist rate to an alarmist 15% (2% +12% (rounded). Yes the combined figure isn't far off for the USA, but it's misleading when considering the bicyclist rate. I congratulate these folks for creating an illusion Harry Houdini might have been proud of, but I don't trust anything they might say. As someone once told me "figures don't lie, but liars figure".
