Falls Church, since it looks at data since 1991, but assumption is that childhood/recreational biking has declined while commuter-bicycling has increased. Since the latter type of biking is the sort associated with dodging traffic, it's inherently more dangerous. The early 90s were also the era of increased mountain biking.

Correlation != causation. "Helmet awareness" campaigns coincided with an era of increased mountain biking and commuter biking. The two phenomena are not connected, except temporally.
