As a person who pedals 9000+ miles annually depending on weather, I have very thankfully been without injury for decades. Knock on wood.
It would be interesting to learn the per/mile injury statistics barring collisions.
Likely more scrapes/contusions for cyclists and greater number of cardiac concerns for motorists.
Actuarial tables likely exist for that kind of overall data.

9000? That is impressive. I’m only about 3000/year on my ‘94 Merckx. But, I don’t commute anymore. Keep it up.

I worked with a guy who biked a lot. One day he was riding in the country and passed a farmhouse and ran into a dog and fell. He broke his collar bone. I asked him what happened and he said “the dog turned the wrong way”. He thought the dog would turn back to the house and it went the other way. I had to laugh. It didn’t seem wise to trust your health on a dog’s decision.
