I see this question come up all the time and the answer is that on average, fewer than one person per year dies due to a collision with a bicycle in NYC.

In fact 5 of the last 8 years had zero pedestrian deaths due to collisions with cyclists. [1]

Cyclists in NYC (and I imagine most cities) do not, and have never had, a history of "endangering the lives of others."
