    Are you talking cycling as a competitive organized sport, or cycling in general including recreational pastime? You have a link to support this? Thanks.
    Id have to look it up again,but if you run a google search using Sport Related Deaths,you'll end up finding both the links I found,theyre relatively dry stats to read through. Bicycling is also the leader in juvenile injuries.
    Though for juvenile trips to the emergency room, I was surprised to see that basketball was really high up there,I didnt expect that.
    Wait I still had it in my google bar so I looked it up again
    Heres one

    There are more links,but my ass is way to lazy to keep digging again
    Yeah, I am also too lazy to spend a lot of time looking. I'd be surprised if we are talking about just competitive bicycle racing. But a high death rate in recreational cycling that wouldn't surprise me, as there is a somewhat higher risk of getting hit by a car while cycling, than in the boxing ring. I'd also say the participation numbers are much lower for boxing.

    A quick bit research seems to indicate that the most common sports related cause of death is cardiac arrest, which can happen in any sport. The numbers are surprisingly high for young people and cardiac arrest.
