QUOTE: The cyclist, who had been riding her bike to work at Holborn's October gallery, described how another bicycle in front of her suddenly stopped and forced her to brake sharply. As a result, her back wheel flipped over and she was sent flying on to the ground. The next thing Ms Phillips remembers is seeing Mr Miliband in front of her. |

"The cyclist, who had been riding her bike to work at Holborn's October gallery, described how another bicycle in front of her suddenly stopped and forced her to brake sharply.

"The next thing Ms Phillips remembers is seeing Mr Miliband in front of her". As if the poor woman hadn't suffered enough. -- Dave - Cyclists VORP "It is time for us to say to cyclists 'You want to join our gang, get trained and pay up'. John Griffin, Addison Lee. |

Motorists are trained and are cars suitable vehicles for adults yet multi billion pound industries exist because they are incapable of driving safely. |

If you put car accidents into the context of the number of miles driven, they are incredibly safe. Do you want me to repeat the figures & make you look foolish again? -- Dave - Cyclists VORP "It is time for us to say to cyclists 'You want to join our gang, get trained and pay up'.
