Assuming we are using 2011-2018, the final number of 2,250 comes out to 281 injuries a year from bikers.
80,000 people would have been injured by cars in that same timeframe. 112,000 if you include bikers being injured by cars.
If bikers make up 1% of the commuters and they had the same pedestrian-injury rate as cars, they would injure 1,120 people a year vs what the number really is, 281.
So bikers are like 4-5 times safer for pedestrians vs cars. This isn't even accounting for deaths, which I assume would make cars look even worse.
NOTE: I suck at math(I know I didn't do the math correctly), but if I am ANY near close to the real numbers, there is no debate.
