More cyclists getting in the way
http://www.hippyshopper.com/2011/03/..._cyclists.html
why don't cyclists campaign for cyclists to be trained?, they are the ones causing the problems. If cyclists will just stop putting themselves into stupid positions then they will not get run over. |

Your source starts by saying... "If you've ever traversed your way around London's streets you know it can be a daunting and dangerous task - both on foot and on bike!.." So why do you think this is and what makes it so dangerous? I'll tell you, DRIVERS! Doug. |

That's right Cheerless - blame the victim again. It was all their own fault. And those girls in short skirts - they're just asking for it. |

Some cyclists do, and some (from this very newsgroup) also run/help out in recognised cycle/cycling training schemes. -- Paul - xxx |

I am certain there are some excellent cyclists and I applaud the ones that help to train others, unfortunately they are outnumbered thousands to one against by cyclists that show no regard for anyone's safety including their own. |

I'll tell you, DRIVERS! Doug. when I went to central London recently the endangerment and injury to pedestrians that I saw all came from cyclists. If all cycling in London was banned there would be zero cyclists squashed or injured and far fewer pedestrian injuries. Drivers would be able to more attentive to the remaining traffic/pedestrians and so would have fewer accidents too. |

TfL 2009 figures for Greater London: Pedestrians injured by cyclists: 78 Pedestrians injured by motor vehicles: 5,049. Bet you didn't really see a single pedestrian injury by a cyclist with only one happening in the whole of London every 5 days. -- Tony |

You didn't see any endangerment to pedestrians caused by motor vehicles? We don't believe you. *If all cycling in London was banned there would be zero cyclists squashed or injured and far fewer pedestrian injuries. * You have excelled yourself here! Let's ban women and eliminate rape too. Drivers would be able to more attentive to the remaining traffic/pedestrians and so would have fewer accidents too. So, not only do you see cyclists as being at fault in all lorry/ cyclist accidents, you also blame cyclists for cars crashing into each other? Do you realise quite how mad you appear? P.S. Dave - Bicycles are a great viable form of transport - pass it on! |
