A
2009 analysis by the Transport Research Laboratory (a private research organisation) found that during the 2005-2007 period, 82% of KSIs were male.
A similar pattern can be seen in data published by the DfT and Transport for London (TfL).
While it is true that male cyclists significantly outnumber female cyclists in the UK,
males are still over-represented in the KSI statistics. Even when taking this imbalance into account, it is estimated that males are 1.4 times more likely to be killed and 1.7 times more likely to be seriously injured than females.
