But at least the cyclists were safe from motorists.


Lucky she wasn't hit by three motorists, which would have been much
worse.


it is good that motorists don't habitually drive on the pavements, a pity
that cyclists won't do the same.


Well given the vastly increased danger that motorists pose it is just
as well they don't habitually drive on pavements but they do crash
there quite often, with disasterous and often fatal results.

So at last you agree that cyclists deliberately ride on pavements, while
the vast majority of motorist do not deliberately drive on pavements.
Oh, and given the yearly mileage of motorists, they do not crash on the
pavement quite often.

Talking of vast majorities, that is what motorists are. So if only a
few of them drive on pavements, either to park, gain access or to
avoid traffic jams, it is still a hellova lot and they are potentially
very much more dangerous than cyclists.
