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.

What I like to know
@brianpaddick is why does a Lord have it so against ppl cycling yet I bet has been silent about the 1000s killed every every year by drivers. Bit hypocritical don't you think & wonder what's his agenda is.@CliffMatthews@bicycal_life@_bransby_@theJeremyVine -
If you read the thread you’ll understand I’m not being a hypocrite.
-
oh I have & think you are, people in the 1000s are killed, maimed, etc every year by motorists. But you bleat on about 1 or 2 a yr if that by those who cycle.
@CliffMatthews@bicycal_life@_bransby_@theJeremyVine -
From 2007 to 2016 cycles were involved on average in about three pedestrian fatalities a year, and 82 serious injuries. That’s too many.
-
Do you have a source for those statistics, please, Brian?
-
Yes, I don't believe it. Fatalities closer to one a year. Serious injuries much lower than 80 Minor injuries of pedestrians and cyclists are often not reported.
