And where are these statistics? And why is Berlin typical in this aspect? And why are cyclists doing such an obviously dangerous (to them) maneuver?

They are a google search away. I mentioned Berlin because I live there and looked at them before. I guess cyclists do these maneuvers because they're legal and standing at the back of a queue of cars is not a safe place to be for a cyclist. I'd rather touch a mirror and fall than be rear-ended by an inattentive driver.
