The rate at which cyclists were killed or seriously injured rose sharply last
year, official figures showed yesterday.

Measured as a proportion of distance pedalled the rate rose by 9 per cent in
2011 compared with 2010 and was the third consecutive year in which it
increased.

(Of course if you are the ****wit PhilO the fact that the number of deaths has
gone down means that cycling has actually got safer.)

The number of pedestrian deaths rose by 5 percent. Perhaps they should
pay "road tax" and wear helmets to protect them from motorists ?
