Citation. I mean I know it does happen, but I'm extremely skeptical of the use of the word "often" here.

"The most interesting result of the analysis was the ﬁnding that sidewalk cyclists have higher event rates on roads than nonsidewalk cyclists."

Nothing in that paper talks about people being killed as far as I could see. Higher event rates != higher deaths. Running into another bike was considered an event, but that's not generally deadly.

Nothing in that paper supports this statement: "People are often killed riding on sidewalks..."
