cyclists still can end up severely injuring or killing a pedestrian.

    Sure, but it is about 4% as many injuries as cars, and about 0.2% as many fatalities. https://medium.com/vision-zero-cities-journal/the-myth-of-the-demon-biker-64cb24939cd6

    Also, the majority of these collisions are caused by not having proper segregation of road users. Cyclists and pedestrians get slammed into the margins of roads dedicated to cars, causing the conflicts.

    Adopting zision zero solves the problem regardless.
