[bikeqld] RE: [saturday-bunch:1082] Perceptions of bicycle safety

[Peter Whittle]

Oh dear, I just saw this answer. Our general position is shameful enough,
but to be worse than the USA? Woe!

 

France: An hour of cycling is safer than an hour of driving. 

Germany: cycling is about equal in safety, per hour. 

Sweden: cycling is about equal in safety. 

Switzerland: cycling is about equal in safety. 

Netherlands: cycling is about equal in safety. 

Australia: cycling is slightly more dangerous than driving. 

USA: cycling is safer than driving, per hour. 

Britain: cycling is more dangerous.

Some data in the form of a quiz, to challenge your perceptions and to be
armed against those "friends" who are so concerned about your safety as a
cyclist:
