I wondered why you didn't post a link to the data. Did you not want
others to see it? I found it he

Thanks for letting me know these figures were out.

Of course I knew that no other poster would know where to find the
figures.
But bugger me - you have managed to. *I suppose you had quite a clue
with :
"I see the DfT have published the latest stats for 2009"
You can try and put any gloss on the figures - yes the number actually
killed was three down on last year.
I understand that that is because *the numbers using cycle helmets has
gone up again - hence fewer deaths as the accident rate goes up.
But in a nutshell - of all modes of transport - the only killed or
seriously injured figure *which went up per billion miles traveled was
cycling.
KSI for all other modes went down.
travelled! Nice mistake from someone who choses to comment on others'
English.
