According to Nugent, the fact that I use a bicycle means that I am
blind or biased to such things when travelling on foot. Whereas, of

there is no such pollution.

Two pedestrians are killed by drivers every day.


How many of the vehicles involved are being deliberately driven along
the footway (which you will probably prefer to think of as "the pavement")?


Given that 200 times as many pedestrians are killed on the footway by motor vehicles than cyclists it must be quite a few.

The figure is zero unless you can show differently.
