Showed that in London bike sales have gone through the roof since the terror

killed riding a bike on the road, than from a terrorist attack, ahhhhhh we
just can't win can we.

Lets see. There've been of the order of 20 people out of a population
of around 50 million (I'm too lazy to look up exact figures) in the
last 5 years in the UK. So over 5 years the odds are around 1 in 2.5
million you'll be killed by a terrorist. At the same time we lose
around 20 cyclists a year out of a population of 20 million, or 1 in 1
million per year. So I'd say it's more like 1000% more likely to be hit
by a car, and both are rather unlikely.

Dave - who knows those are dodgy statistics, but don't be alarmed.
