The number of miles walked vs biked is misleading because what is important is how much time is spent doing the activity. If 5 times as many miles are walked rather than biked, than easily 20 times more hours are spent walking than biking. Time is key, more so then miles. Walking is only "more dangerous" because you are exposed to the risk for longer. Other factors like lower visibility and higher rates of intoxication contribute to this.

As the risks are the same why does no one promote a law making it compulsory for pedestrians to wear helmets?
