Careless cyclist goes over the handlebars
 

Too fast to stop and over the handlebars, bicycles are dangerous things to
have on the road.

Perhaps she was right...

This wouldn't happen if cyclists had a sheet of laminated glass in
front of them

It wouldn't have happened if (a) cyclists were trained and (b) if push
bikes were suitable vehicles for adults.

Complete lack of observation, anticipation & hazard awareness skills +
unstable vehicle.

"The next thing Ms Phillips remembers is seeing Mr Miliband in front of

As if the poor woman hadn't suffered enough.

Motorists are trained and are cars suitable vehicles for adults yet
multi billion pound industries exist because they are incapable of
driving safely.

I assume you mean 'cars are'?

If you put car accidents into the context of the number of miles driven,
they are incredibly safe. Do you want me to repeat the figures & make
you look foolish again?

Push bikes are a very suitable form of transport for many things.
See my other post for a definition of an adult.
