Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.

10 kph is about 6 mph, which is walking speed. Cycling would be closer to twice that, or more.
Nah, walking speed is ~5kph, and a good pace on a bike is about 20kph
That’s 4x the speed and thus 16x the kinetic energy. It’s quite a big difference.
Yes, like I said, cycling would be closer to 20 kph, which is twice 10 kph.
Your point?
The numbers they pulled out of their ass are off by at least a factor of two.
