In terms of casualties per billion miles travelled, at 5,604, they are
only second to motorcyclists at 6,043. Other figures are pedestrians
1,801, cars 238, buses 198, vans 62 and LGVs 61. (2017 figures)


That would be deaths. In terms of serious injuries they rank a slightly
higher mileage than pedestrians.

However, the main argument (on u.r.c) is about certain drivers claiming
that cyclists are evil pedestrian killers. The main culprit x-posted this.


Only *some* cyclists are "evil pedestrian killers".

"Evil pedestrian killers" is, of course, *your* phrase and certainly not
mine. But it is a very telling one and I am grateful for your coinage of it.
