Cycling DOES seem to be a very dangerous activity all of a sudden,

If your only source of information is u.r.c, yes.

To be fair, you aren't going to encounter these stories elsewhere
unless you are obsessed with finding them (no names, no pack-drill).

What happened to stories about the delights of biking, tips for safe
riding, technical tips, recounting delightful experiences, ideas for
bike routes and tours, and so forth?

Exactly.

Really? when did you ever make a post detailing a pleasant cycling
experience?

Where is the logic in that question?

Is it compulsory to own or ride a bicycle to post here?

If so, where is that provided?

I could make such posts, by the way. It was on a bicycle that my own
horizons were first widened beyond the sixpenny bus ride.

Not all cycling is, and not all cyclists are, about conflict.

But those are of significant concern to vulnerable road users.

That's completely self-defined "vulnerability".

Vulnerability depends on one's own behaviour as well as that of others.
Hence the stories (once more common here) of cyclists being killed when
they ran into stone walls, etc.

Unless it was the walls' fault(s) of course.

Still less does that apply to the rest of the population.
