Why is it important?
Without knowing how many people cycle or how far or how long they cycle it is impossible to determine the accident risk (i.e. number of accidents per kilometer) and to compare it to other vehicles such as cars.
Perspectives
Knowing the distance cycled is absolutely fundamental to comparing accident risks with other travel modes and to be able to assess the risk reductions from actions or infrastructure put in place to make traffic safer for cyclists.
