those wonderful cyclists
I thought cyclists were immune from being stopped for anything because they
are so safe? "Between January and November 2010, the Metropolitan Police Service and City of London Police together issued over 10,500 FPNs to cyclists" I wonder how many actually got paid? "139 such collisions (cyclists v. pedestrian) causing injury to a pedestrian, including 1 fatality" (and these are only the ones that get reported) Now I understood that cycles were so light and slow moving that they could never cause any injury. |

Can you provide a url to anywhere anyone has said cyclists are immune from being stopped? Now I understood that cycles were so light and slow moving that they could never cause any injury. You understood wrong. Can you provide a url to anywhere anyone has said cycles were so light and slow moving that they could never cause any injury? No wonder you are so confused. |

I'd be fascinated to hear how many unreported fatalities you think may be slipping through the net. |

Not too many fatalities, but I would bet that a very large number of cyclist/pedestrian collisions are not reported. |

Perhaps he was indulging in a teeny bit of hyperbole With his "they could never cause *any* injury?" [my emphasis], but there are those here who state - and frequently repeat - that bicycles are unlikely to cause injury. And that just isn't true, is it? |

Not too many fatalities, but I would bet that a very large number of cyclist/pedestrian collisions are not reported. I am trying to remember when I last collided with a pedestrian. I think it was about 25 years ago when a lady suddenly stepped out on a pedestrian crossing in front of me. Emergency brakes - I hit the lady with so little force that she didn't even move! Pleasantries exchanged and we went our separate ways. -- 67.4% of statistics are made up. |
