Thats what make pavement cyclists so dangerous. *Silent killers.


Not as deadly as cars apparently, the AA have coined a rather
derogatory name for the poor victims, 'Ipod Zombies'

"Furthermore, the AA claims that the zombified state may be the cause
of some 500 pedestrian deaths of the total 27,000 pedestrian
casualties there were last year."
