My project would be looking at whether you could modify perception of risk and safety, with an intervention ie: a cycling course.
I don't want to piss on your chips but modification of perception through education is a well established, supported and evidenced fact. With regards to perception of risk, safety and cycling courses. I think we already know this as well. As in scientifically know this through study and research.
I wanted to do my research into something useful.
I laud your intentions here but I don't think this will be "useful" in as much as it won't tell us anything new. Perhaps trawl through the existing research for a bit and see if there are some gaps that might might prove useful to be closed or save yourself the effort and knock out a paper on whether water is wet.

All helpful comments, thanks.
I should have put injured, rather than killed. My apologies.

I know that cyclists are not to blame for the majority of accidents (one study suggested that only 15% of accidents involving cyclists were due to the cyclist) - but the end goal is risk reduction to cyclists regardless of who is at fault.
