CTC's Cycle Digest issue 57 says:
• 364,082 pedestrians were injured by drivers between 1998 and 2007, while 2,623 were
injured by cyclists
• Pedestrians are 263 times more likely to be killed by a driver than by a cyclist - this despite
the fact that cyclists and pedestrians often share the same space and much of motor
vehicle mileage is made on motorways, where pedestrians are prohibited.

It's nice to have these facts to hand. BTW 364,082 / 2623 ~= 139
