It would have been more interesting if the report gave ANY indication of exposure, i.e what percentage of bike riding is done during daylight on slower urban streets vice the alternative less favorable conditions.

From the same report: "In other words, the crashes are related to exposure. The crash fact descriptions that follow are also undoubtedly related to exposure, or when and where people choose to ride."

Unfortunately, the report gives zero information about that exposure.
