Cycling isn't dangerous, it's the behaviour of people (including cyclists) out on the roads that can and does create dangerous situations for cyclists (and others too).
Cycling in urban environment is dangerous and always was.
It makes you interact with traffic in a different way you would as a pedestrian.
(in the same way riding a scooter when you're 16 is more dangerous than taking bus to school, as long as you've got a knife on you)
Obviously there's a huge need to campaign for city planners not to endanger cyclist further - through a stupid road layouts, to rise awareness of drivers and so on.
