A recent study from the University of British Columbia found that installing bike infrastructure greatly reduces the likely hood of cyclist injury. In fact, cycle tracks (bike lanes physically separated from motor vehicle traffic) alongside major streets had about 1/10 the typical risk to cyclists.
