Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Hobartlemagne

I found this interesting site with cited data about different types of information related
to cycling deaths and some comparisons between auto and cycling statistics.
http://bicycleuniverse.info/transpo/almanac-safety.html
Some interesting points from the site:
U.S. cyclists are three more likely to be killed than German cyclists and six times more than Dutch cyclists
An average of 16.5 cyclists per million die every year in the U.S. (For motorists, it's 19.9 motorists per million.)
Riding on the sidewalk is several more times more dangerous than riding in the street.
