I've been looking for information on risk, overall, by passenger miles travelled, by trips, and by time-in-mode (which adjusts for typical trip length).

Only partially successful, though I find:

30,690 overall auto fatalities.

- 6,067 cycling & edestrial fatalities, combined.

- "More than 90% of pedestrian fatalities occurred when the victims were hit by automobiles and light trucks."

- "A related study on risk factors for on-road cycling commuters indicated that prior to car-bicycle accidents, 89% of cyclists were traveled in a safe and legal manner. In addition, vehicle drivers were at fault in 87% of the events."

The risk externalities of motorised vs nonmotorised transport appear far greater.

The parent didn't mean to say whether cyclists or drivers were more or less at fault, but for every minute/mile spent on a cycle instead of a car, the likelihood of injury is probably higher.

Understood. However it's interesting to note that motor vehicles are the major source of cycling risk, all the same.
