Default 211 cyclists killed by potholes in 2010 -2011

Strange report to make, since it flies against all other data available.

Tory MP Andrew Jones estimated that 211 cyclists had been killed in the
UK as a result of defective road surfaces between 2010 and 2011.

I doubt it.

Total cyclists deaths per year has been under 100 since 2007 - and the
trend is downwards.
