alt Hacker NewsI would wager it's the usage of payments and ignoring of pedestrian lights by cyclists is a big factor.
As a pedestrian, I've had FAR more encounters with aggressive cyclists than aggressive drivers (also anecdotal). Makes walking downtown more stressful.
The difference in severity of a crash between a car and a bicycle is on the order of 20x. Are you seeing 20x more agressive cyclists than motorists?
Anyhow, talking about the hospitalization rate without the mortality rate is very odd and smells of manipulation one way or the other.
