When did the rules of the road stop applying to them? None wait at Red lights and the take away food bikes seen to be the worst. |  |

| Bikes in London on 22:31 - May 28 by Benny_the_Ball | Oh, quelle surprise. Professional cyclist sticks up for cycling community using fake statistics. I wonder how many accidents were caused by cyclists who rode away into the sunset leaving carnage behind them (such as the example I just cited above). As cyclists do not have to register their bikes or themselves, they are untraceable and unaccountable. Consequently, the statistics that Boardman is relying on simply do not exist. |
It's also what-about-ism and a logical fallacy. It's like stating that when we stop having accidents we don't need safety equipment. Obvious bollocks. Cows also don't tend to interact with pedestrian crossings if they did we'd all be in trouble. |  |

Yes, I had my young son with me, had I not done it he would have been run over. |  |

| Bikes in London on 20:43 - May 28 by colinallcars | I wonder what our forebears would think - green bikes lying on the pavement or blocking entrances, conventional bikes chained to rails but with bits missing. Someone was killed by a cyclist in a London park but there were no charges that could be brought. When cycles first appeared there was a charge of “furious riding” that could be used but it must have disappeared off the statute book donkey's ago. |
That case was referred to quite recently actually, resulting in the prosecution of a cyclist who killed a pedestrian. He was riding an adapted racing bike that had no front brakes! |  | |  |
