Or maybe they’re just safer when they ride. “Cyclist, object collision” sounds like it’s basically always the cyclist’s fault given the other available categories, like someone riding too fast and hitting a stationary object.
There’s twice as many non-collision accidents as all the collision categories combined. People just wiping out, which definitely sounds like too fast for the turn, showboating, etc. Not that women can’t do all that - it just feels like much more stereotypically male behavior.
I’d be super curious to see how much of that is food delivery bikers. In my city, they are everywhere but I’m not dude I’ve ever seen a woman doing it. But in terms of reckless cycling, those delivery folks are way over represented (which makes sense, their income depends on speed.)
People don’t cycle that much overall, due to perception and poor infrastructure, but yeah it’s also skewed by gender. My impression is that the public perception of poor safety is something that most people are exposed to, but weighs more heavily on women.
Sad to see that women seem to not cycle very much in England…
Perhaps they do but in a more sensible manner.

Or to put it in the nicer way: BMX and mountainbiking, as well as children learning to ride
