Raw data, yes. But adjust for choices and the risk changes. Ride prudently, not drunk, not at night with no lights, and your risk of getting hit by a car drops significantly.
Ride intentionally in thunderstorms, oblivious to the risk, and your risk of being struck by lightning, as well as being hit by a car rises dramatically.
Long winded way to say the cartoon above is correct.
