Original Note:
The poster neglects to mention that STATS19 data excludes incidents not on public roads for all vehicles - not just cycles. For example a car accident in a car park would not be in STATS19. Therefore STATS19 is like for like and should not be assumed to under report bikes. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-accidents-and-safety-statistics-notes-and-definitions/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britain-notes-definitions-symbols-and-conventions
