It does no such thing.


"Man arrested after woman hit by car in Bedminster


OK


A woman in her 20s has been injured after a car came off the road and
onto
the pavement in Bristol.


Right


Emergency services were called to Cannon Road, in the Bedminster area of
the
city, at 13:15 BST on Sunday.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said the area had been cordoned
off
while officers investigated the scene.


Good


"The woman's injuries are not thought to be life threatening.


Good

A man, also in
his 20s, was arrested in connection," the force spokesman added."


We don't know what for.

So nothing to do with cycling then?

Any potential source of danger on our roads and pavements is of serious
concern to vulnerable cyclists, much as you would like to brush it all under
the carpet.
