Where on earth do you live?

How much viewing time are we talking about with this
observation? How many bicyclists over what period of time?

Assuming the sample size of your observations are sufficiently
large, I would have to predict a significant number of the
700-800 American bicyclists that die each year must meet their
end in your town, with riding behavior as you claim (assuming
you are in the US)!
