That speaks volumes for the strength (or otherwise) of your "arguments", doesn't it?

So, a cyclist travelling at 30mph is able to stop in a safe distance if a pedestrian walks into the road? OK, how about Bournemouth Council having to enforce a cycling speed limit to protect pedestrians? How about cyclists completely ignoring a ban on riding through Hyde Park? How about cyclists ignoring one way streets in Islington? How about so many cyclists ignoring traffic law in London that the Police admit they can't cope with the volume? > I look forward to you attempting this (or more likely, claiming that > it isn't necessary), given that more cyclists are killed by > pedestrians than the reverse, and the total of both is outweighed by > several orders of magnitude by the number of victims of motor vehicle > use. That more cyclists are killed by pedestrians is simply idiotic - I trust you can provide evidence to support this ridiculous claim? A pedestrian hit by a cyclist is going to come off worse, simple schoolboy physics. That cyclists come off worse when colliding with motor vehicles is obvious - again simple schoolboy physics - but they cause more accidents because they frequently ignore traffic law. Now, instead of posting the standard cyclists mantra, can you refer back to the original discussion? That's the bit you snipped in a pathetic attempt to avoid the issue. No more than I expect form a bike riding fuckwit. Try answering simple questions instead of trying to avoid issues. -- Dave - The Tax Paying Motorist

Typical pathetic cyclist attempt to have a go. I didn't actually say that did I fuckwit? -- Dave - The Tax Paying Motorist |
