Anyways, 15% of the Belgian road deaths, are motorcyclists ...
Yet they do but a fraction of the mileage of cars.
Getting 10% of the commuters out of their cars and onto bikes would roughly mean doubling the number of bikes out there, while increasing the driven mileage significantly.
And thus more or less double the biker's death toll ...
