Wonder if they'd be close? Would it be safe to assume that in the grand scheme of things both modes of transport have very low ticket rates simply due to the numbers involved and only so much law enforcement to go around?

In the 5 years I've been biking into work I've been ticketed twice. Once for speeding on the bike path (20km/hr speed limit-- it was kind of hilarious to see the bylaw guy pop out from behind the bush and stop me) and once for riding on the sidewalk (yep, I was that guy)... so it does happen.
In comparison I've received 1 ticket in 24 years of driving.
