Default No cyclist deaths at all in NI in 2015

QUOTE:
"FOUR children were among 72 people to die on Northern Ireland's roads this year - with no cyclists among the casualties for the first time in five years.

The figures show that among those who died, 34 were drivers, 18 were pedestrians, 16 were passengers and four were motorcyclists.

Four of those killed were aged under 16, while 19 were aged 65 and over. A total of 51 males and 21 females were killed.

For the first time since 2010, there were no cyclists killed on the north's roads."

Gordon Clarke, from walking and cycling charity, Sustrans, welcomed the fact that there had been no cyclist fatalities so far this year however said there was still "work to be done".

"We are particularly concerned at the number of pedestrians killed over the past year, a total of 18 people, and would urge everyone, not just motorists, to take care on the roads and be mindful of the most vulnerable users".

Obviously the people there have realised how dangerous cycling is, and have
given up their silly habit.
