Check out chart 2:

To share with everyone else, chart 2 shows 12x more fatalities per mile traveled for bikes compared to cars.
On the other hand, is shows that pedestrians and cyclists have the same rate of fatalities per mile traveled.

So better to not walk or cycle and just stick to your car /s

It absolutely is more safe to put a child in a car in a car seat than to put them on your bike. I wouldn’t even do that outside a city, on a quiet paved bike path.
