First of all SFB's I haven't accused anyone of OT posting. Secondly, my
posts are about cycling - my opinion may differ from yours however.

If I've said it a million times I'm exagerating, but speed differentials
will always increase risk. Happened with motorcylists too, but they take
steps to make other road users aware of where they are, cyclists need to
do the same, not just moan.

I don't understand where this complete disregard for fellow citizens/
humans/ people who use a bicycle on the roads comes from? What
motivates someone to come on a website and post such remarks when
someone is trying to enlighten the public as to some figures about
road traffic deaths and serious injuries?
