QUOTE:
A professional cyclist who lives on the Isle of Man believes better
awareness rather than lower speed limits would help riders feel safer on
the road.
The Isle of Man Cycling Association sent an open letter to Manx
politicians this week calling for reduced speed limits to aid vulnerable
road users.
Team Ineos rider Chris Lawless said issues such as "close passes" posed
a bigger threat.
"It is not speed limits that are the problem it is education," he added.
If cyclists had to abide by special speed limits there would be fewer
accidents.
Can you provide evidence to support this claim?
