The cyclist death rate in the Netherlands is 1 death for every 82,534 people. In the US it is 1 death in 400,000. That means Dutch cycling death rates are 5 times higher than the US.
So what are you talking about?
Nope, it's about the same. The Netherlands is a teeny, tiny bunch of islands and such held together with landfills and dikes. The US is a huge country about there on a globe.
