Since the vast majority of cyclist- and pedestrian fatalities involve motor vehicles, this likely reflects the fact that, unlike the US, Germany has stringent driving test requirements, resulting in German drivers knowing how to, ya know, drive. Unlike the US. Also better cycling/walking infrastructure. Note that pedestrian deaths in Germany are also a fraction of those in the US. Is that those pesky pedestrians wearing flashing lights?
