Don't generalise Brian. You fuel hatred of law-abiding cyclists by using that kind of language. For every 108 people killed on pavements, 107 are killed by motor vehicles. Cyclists don't pollute; & combat obesity. There are bad ones and there are bad drivers too.
Rhiannon Bennett, who was 17 when she was killed by a speeding cyclist in 2007.

The cyclist wasn't speeding, Rhiannon had been drinking and her mates were in the road. Cyclists are getting stabbed for bikes in Hackney. That cyclist was wrong but I can understand wanting to get away.

“the defendant admitted in a police interview that he could have steered away from the pedestrians” but shouted "move because I'm not stopping".”

"Chris Thompson, defending Howard, said: "Mr Howard was riding down towards a group of young people. He shouted a warning and the group moved to his left. "You were right, exactly what you said, but Rhiannon at the last minute stepped back in front of him"

He was convicted

He was... 2 such incidents between 2007 and 2016. Is this the "perspective" you're so keen for
@theJeremyVine to have? -

11 years ago. Now list the names of all cyclists and pedestrians killed by car and lorry drivers in that time.
-
From 2007 to 2016 cycles were involved on average in about three pedestrian fatalities a year, and 82 serious injuries.

If you really are concerned with health and safety and not your own prejudices, surely your efforts would be better served to improving safe cycle provision and encourage more cycling.http://www.itv.com/news/2018-06-06/air-pollution-from-cars-and-vans-costs-6bn-a-year-to-health/ …

I guess that it happens so rarely you can remember them. Can you name my friend that was killed by a car on the other side of the road 2 year ago?
