*Most* injuries are caused by those in motorised vehicles.
Really?
Most serious injuries and deaths, maybe.
But if you count bruises and grazes, then I rather doubt it.

Most reported ones for sure and I suspect it's a close run thing overall, as so few are injured by riding in groups or falling solo.Really?

2013. Seven killed plus three in the helicopter when it landed on the Clutha Bar in Glasgow after running out of fuel.
So it's quite likely that in 2013 more people on the ground* were killed by falling helicopters than by cyclists. I'm sure the 2013 RTA casualty figures are out there somewhere, but I'm not going to spend time searching for them as I strongly doubt they will actually have a category for pedestrians killed by cyclists.In one year, more pedestrians were killed by falling helicopters than by cyclists.
I strongly doubt they will actually have a category for pedestrians killed by cyclists.

Thanks. Now can you find the figure for the UK 2013 please.
I already know, it’s less than the helicopter figure above.
Come on - don't leave us in suspense. What was the figure for the UK in 2013? (with a link to source if poss)
This will completely vindicate @MichaelW2 and shame me for being sceptical of his claim.
Do it yourself. The data will be found digging through the links here but you need to be at a computer with spreadsheet software to dig in.

I can't be arsed. Clearing @MichaelW2 's name of the dreadful slur that I made when I doubted him is important to me. But not that important.
Six in 2013, the same peak number again in 2019.I can't be arsed. Clearing @MichaelW2 's name of the dreadful slur that I made when I doubted him is important to me. But not that important.

So it was a close run thing, as both causes of death peaked that year. Helos 8, Bikes 6.
