https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... says that in 2020 it was 0.269 deaths per 100k of population -> so around 890 total deaths in that year.

(There are stats about other transportation modes too.)

And of course nearly all of those involved cars. There would be basically no bicycle deaths if we didn't have to share the roads.

Most people I know with bycicle accidents that had to go through surgery, managed to achieve it without help from cars.
