Abstract

The following are key points: Pedestrians bear a higher fatality rate than cyclists, by a factor of almost 1.5;   Cycling in Britain is safer than driving in many other countries, including France and Belgium;  Cycling is far safer than driving anywhere when the health benefits and reduced risk to third parties are included;  Cycling gets safer as it gets more popular;  There is no known example in recent decades when an increase in cycling led to an increase in cyclist deaths.
