Those Dutch hospitals must be packed full of cyclists with head injuries..

The stats I was quoting were from e-scooters, not cycles.

This 2010 article claims Dutch cyclists have incredibly low rates of head injuries.

This article from 2021 claims that there are 16000 brain injures related to cycling annually in the Netherlands.

This study from 2020 claims there are 13.5 million Dutch cyclists. So around 0.1% of the Dutch cyclist community will have a brain injury annually.

I shudder to think what the rates are for motor vehicles.
