Between 30K and 40K automobile deaths in the US every years since 1961 ... I forget the earlier data but it is online. Of course, cars are ridiculously safer, and miles traveled per death has gone way up ... but still, 30 to forty thousand people die in road accidents each year in the US.
Approximately 1000 (usually a little less) cyclists die each year in the US. A lot of them are substance users, many driving unlit at night, and/or going against traffic.
For every cyclist who dies, 30 to 40 drivers die .... but no one ever worries about getting into their cars.
More important though, is the number of driver and riders who never have a serious accident.
