Note that bicycles can use most of the same roads that cars and trucks
do, but are seldom registered nor their operators licensed. It's just
harder to kill yourself (or more important, someone else) on a
bicycle.

It's not hard to kill yourself on a bicycle. My first cousin
did do about 20 years ago - riding his bike home from work in
the rain. About two years ago a prominent local M.D. and
fitness nut (who also often rode his bike to work) did himself
in. His body was found alongside the bike path. No one saw the
accident, so the cause is only speculation. However, he suffered
severe head trauma - and the helmet he was wearing didn't save
him. Another well to do citizen rode into the back of a parked
delivery truck - and likewise did not survive. All of these
were one-vehicle accidents.

I think that there would be a lot less of these accidents if
all bikes were recumbents (but probably more cases of being
run down by drivers who never saw the bicycle).
