I've never been hit by car or cycle, but have twice in recent months had to
take evasive action while on a pavement to avoid being hit by a cyclist.

So you've not been hit by a bike, then. Thought not.

Although it does happen. About sixty people a year are injured by
cyclists on the pavement. That's slightly less than the number who
are *killed* by motor vehicles on the pavement.
