      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.

      So I’ve seen a female pedestrian floored, literally, by a red light cyclist. This is not an isolated incident. 2 bikes went through the red light before the third one nearly hit me. You’re the one who needs some perspective.

      Thousands die every year on UK roads, none of them as a result of irresponsible cyclists. If you're that concerned about the dangers of transport there is a more obvious target for your concern.

      That is factually incorrect. A cyclist was jailed for killing a pedestrian not that long ago.

      Actually it was two years ago since this occurred, February 2016, and is so rare that you remember it. Since then over 200 pedestrians have been killed on pavements by motor vehicles and motor vehicles have been directly responsible for over 3,500 deaths in the UK.

      So is “no deaths caused by cyclists” factually correct or not? I’m not excusing motorists behaviour or cyclists behaviour but you hear almost zero about the latter. We all need to be considerate to other road users, including those crossing the road on the “green man”.

      Replying to @brianpaddick @bicycal_life @theJeremyVine

      No, it's not correct, as I've already conceded, there has been one, extremely well-covered case. The point I and many others are making is that the problem of nuisance cyclists is nothing compared to thousands of deaths every year caused by cars.

          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".”
