What you meant was "Yet another woman cyclist killed"


ie cycling *is* dangerous.

Stopping distances for bicycles do not appear in the HC ... and so
cannot be of any consequence.

You would have to cycle to the Sun and back 20 times to be at risk from
being killed according to TMH.
Seems extremely safe to me.

Crikey - you'd be dead in the first few miles if you tried that. I
didn't realise cycling was that risky.

That will be very reassuring for her relatives - have you written and
told them it was bad luck?

linked this:-

"Lowther said he was devastated when he became aware of Mrs
Stoddart’s death."

It is too late to be "devastated" afterwards. Far better to drive
sensibly in the first place.

Luck had nothing to do with it, otherwise the killer would not have got a
five year jail sentence, would he?
