OK, let's take a look at traffic fatalities in Denmark (where bicycles are the primary means of transport in most cities). 25 bicycle fatalities, compared to 64 auto fatalities. It's a much closer margin, but bicycles still win out. The statistics are similar in The Netherlands, where bicycles are equally popular.

How many kilometers cycled and driven?

I find it very dubious to assume that cars drive the same amount of kilometers as bikes in the Netherlands...

You can measure mixed risk like this in hours exposed, since the outcome of a car and bike trip in Denmark is the same (you get to work or whatever). That will also be fairer to cars, since I suspect there are more deaths per KM for cars.

I ride my bike just shy of 40kms per commute, the same amount I would drive.
