US has higher fatalities due to
more vehicle miles as well as higher risk per mile travelled

US pedestrian and bicycle fatality rates are significantly higher than fatalities in cars.

US bike fatality rates are significantly worse than many northern European countries

Calculation adjusted to use vehicle fatality rates for non-motorway traffic:
Source data for adjustment: [1] 69% of bicycling fatalities are in urban areas and 59% are NOT at intersections.http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811743.pdf[2] Rural 2-lane roads are likely the most dangerous of all types, exurban surface next, then suburban surface, then metro highway, then urban surface, with rural interstates (motorways) the safest.

Safety in Numbers?
(Possible a little of both)
More bikes => Safer? Safer => More bikes?or

California City’s Bike Crash Fatality Risk vs. Intersection Density

More intersections
coincides with more biking and
safer biking

28 mph
Higher vehicle speeds significantly increases fatality risks

Are women electing to not bike because of safety concerns?

It is pretty clear that it is more dangerous to walk, bike and even drive in US as compared
to some northern European countries.
Why is this?
