I think this article is much better than the first. She kinda misses the boat when talking about making us more visible, but at the same time bitching about loud pipes. Further, most of these articles like to omit a nice chunk of statistically relevant information... Sure bike accidents have increased, but how does that relate to the number of bikes being registered? That's going to tell you the rest of the story. Ex. If fatalities are up 66%, but registrations are up 85%, then one could surmise that safety is improving.
