surmenok · x · 2026-11-11

Cremieux Recueil's chart of US deaths per 100 million passenger-miles (2015-2024) shows pedestrians (18-47) deadlier than motorcyclists (22-31), with cyclists at 9.5-19 and 30 mph e-bikes estimated at 5.3-19 — near motorcycle risk. Car occupants sit at 0.46-0.59, buses at 0.0043-0.02, and US airline passengers at just 0.000091. Dutch data mirrors the pattern: cyclists 1.9-2.3 vs motorcyclists 5.5-8.4.
