Default Risk from cyclists

Are London pedestrians more at risk from cyclists or policemen?

On 22 July 2005 an innocent pedestrian, Jean Charles de Menezes, was
killed by police officer "Charlie 12" as he walked to a train at
Stockwell Tube Station.

On 1 April 2009 an innocent pedestrian, Ian Tomlinson, was killed by
PC Simon Harwood as he walked home.

In that period, how many innocent pedestrians were killed by errent
cyclists?

You have forgotten those killed by pavement motorists, of which there
are several.

A knock on effect from that death is that the dozens of Plod down our
work's lane have been very hands off, meaning the protestors have been
getting away with blocking a public highway and verbal and physical
abuse for nearly 2 months now. Although today one of the ring leaders
was *at last* carted off. About time.

Was that at the "hamlet" known as Saltend?

Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists.
This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

Hello Bugbear.
Maybe Judith could amend Wikipedia with the correct information.

"Salt End or Saltend is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire,
England, in an area known as Holderness"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_End

I do appreciate you pointing out her mistakes - I would not get to see
them otherwise.
