A pioneering study into the risks of cycling in London reveals that
“safety in numbers” protects riders from injury.

Roads with more cyclists are 13 per cent safer — probably because
drivers are more aware, or because cyclists shield each other by riding
in a “protective ring”.

Dr Rachel Aldred, a transport expert at the University of Westminster,
who led the research, said: “A street with 1,000 cyclists per day is 13
per cent safer than one with 500 cyclists per day.”
