Typical predicted response from the pro bike crowd. Cars do it so its okay.
Leaving out the fact that common sense would tell you more deaths would be associated with cars anyways given the modal share of cars vs. bikes. Simply put there is more people in cars so more chances of wrecks happening.
Though I don't agree with the term "bike terrorism," this is a good article publicizing that bikes aren't the cure all to pedestrians deaths many publications like citylab and curbed make them out to be.
