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.

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.

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.

@brianpaddick when you look at the facts in CONTEXT to the data given you clearly skewed it to your own anti-cycling tweets. So I've highlighted in red some key points you missed from@WeAreCyclingUK.@TopHat_247@CliffMatthews@bicycal_life@_bransby_@theJeremyVinepic.twitter.com/6Gd5mr9ObG
