726 Bicyclist Deaths

"In 2014, 726 people lost their lives in bicycle/motor vehicle crashes, just under two people every day of the year in the U.S. This is a slight decline from 2013, when 749 were killed - the highest number of fatalities since 2006, when 772 were killed, and a major increase from from the 682 bicyclist fatalities reported in 2011."

50,000 Bicyclist Injuries

"The number of estimated bicyclist injuries climbed to 50,000 in 2014, up from 48,000 in 2013. Research into hospital records shows that only a fraction of bicycle crashes causing injury are ever recorded by the police, possibly as low as ten percent."

$4 Billion

"The National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that the comprehensive cost of each person killed in a traffic crash to be $4,538,000 (2012 dollars). According to the NSC, calculation of the economic cost of injuries includes 'wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, administrative expenses, motor vehicle damage, and employers' uninsured costs.'"
