no but they are segregated from cyclists more ;
it's pointless comparing UK accident rates with our pathetic cycle facilities to countries where better ones are provided
Accident rates have too many factors to be easily comparable, as you say.
But, are there numbers on rate of head injury per accident? If so, what would they show? If we have a greater rate of head injury is it because we ride faster than the laid back Dutch or because we're more likely to be hit by something moving quickly which then imparts momentum to the unfortunate cyclist? If they have a greater rate of head injury is it because they are all going slowly on cycle paths without helmets, which then shows that cycle paths are a bad idea because they "cause" head injury, or because our higher speed accidents give different kinds of injury?
Are the roads softer over there?
Should we campaign for cycle paths to be re-laid with that springy playground tarmac? That's a road safety campaign I could get behind.
