Personally I think it is important to understand statistics because if you just say "you can prove anything" you are just left with opinions and as someone said, - you are welcome to your own opinion but but not your own facts.

The report you've provided doesn't disprove anything I've said. This report doesn't provide any figures normalised by the number of trips, the distance or duration of trips.  In other words, the likelihood of something bad happening when you are actually riding a bike.

The fatality rates per million inhabitants in the report you provided are particularly misleading. A big place where hardly anyone cycles will have a much lower figure than a smaller place where lots of people cycle as in the big place, the 98% of people who never get on a bike are included in this figure.

As for "you are never going to get a segregated cycle lane from your front door to Tesco" (I assume that other supermarkets are available)

Well there aren't segregated cycle lanes everywhere even in the Netherlands.  What they do have is a more systematic approach to road design so in a residential area there aren't segregated lanes but they they try to limit the speeds and volumes of motor traffic there.  Then when you reach the main road to the supermarket, there is a segregated lane.
