They have not got the necessary skills or competence to commute in rush hour trafffic. I remember reading somewhere that this is this is one of the reasons why deaths from cycling in London have risen in the last couple of years
I thought deaths had gone down in actual numbers, and had gone down quite significantly as a rate given the huge increase in cycling? Skills and competence have some effect on overall cycling safety, but a much bigger one comes from the "safety in numbers" effect.
