No they don't have it all wrong...their dataset is ALL bicyclists. My claim that you quoted was limited to "sensible bicyclists"...dramatically smaller dataset...heheh.
Besides...this is just my opinion...bicycling in TV, if you use the MMP's in a sensible (there's that word again) and responsible manner, is much safer than what might be inferred from a statistic based upon the all-bicycle-trips-taken-in-the-US scenario referenced above. MUCH safer.
