Let that be an end of it.

Oh look, an other lie. What I said was that injuries to pedestrians
caused by cyclists are, at a public policy level, ignorable.

Why should this be?

Which
is true, and is why no government has seen any need to do anything
about it. Want that changed? Write to your MP. I'd start by
lobbying to reduce road danger, so that cyclists did not feel
compelled to ride where they should not.

Ah the 'I put others in danger to make me feel safer' answer.

Which would, incidentally,
also reduce the /real/ source of danger to pedestrians. The figures
for footway injuries due to motorists and cyclists have been
published many times now.

I agree, this should be the end of him.

Or it could be the end of this troll-started troll-infested thread.

If you are correct, can you explain why none of my family have never had
a near miss with a car on the footway, but have had many with cyclists?
