Cyclists have known this and promoted this idea for years. There's just so few protections for them in the legal system in practice, and on the flip side, so few consequences for drivers that harm cyclists and pedestrians. That's one of the things that keeps people away that are even remotely interested in cycling as transportation. That's not to mention the lack of interest/funding in cycling infrastructure.
