In your quote i highlighted above, you left out the important part: "........(for example, cycling major roads with bicycle facilities')

"Bicycling on the street is >20 times safer than riding on the
sidewalk[SUP]10[/SUP] (for example, cycling major roads with bicycle facilities
is 40 times safer than sidewalk cycling[SUP]10[/SUP])."
Did you read the part you decided to include? I left it out because it didn't apply to your situation (or mine). It says you're twice as safe on a road with bicycle facilities than a road without. But the phrase that I DID quote says that even without bicycle facilities, you're still safer than on a sidewalk.
