Death of cyclist. 17/11/2008 19:51:36
Instead of promoting cycling on public roads, steps should taken to prevent more instances of this nature happening. How many more deaths are needed before people realise that cycling on public roads is dangerous.

Robert Poole,

How unpleasant: jump in when there's a casualty and try to bully cyclists off the roads. What next, 'Superman' - ban pedestrians? That would make life safer too. All road users have rights, and vulnerable ones especially so.

It's also factually wrong. When the number of cyclists on the road increases the death and injury rate declines because motorists become more aware of cyclists. So promoting cycling makes cyclists safer. Cyclists are the solution, not the problem.
