80% of road deaths are pedestrians, cyclists or motorcyclists and what do we think is killing them?
Bigger heavier, shinier things with airbags.
People in cars are generally safer and rarely get killed by pedestrians, cyclists or motorcycles.

I said killed by cyclists, which Is on average 3 per year.
Unless you think we have a problem of cyclist killers riding off into the night.
The real problem for me are the electric bikes, delivery riders and scooter riders on CBTs, who don't follow the laws.
Your average cyclist commuter is dicing with death on a daily basis and it's stacked against them.
I'll leave this thread now as there have been numerous other debates on this subject |

Chris Boardman summed it up, with the analogy that more people are killed each year by cows and lightning than cyclists.
Cyclists can be a pain in the arse but there are far more dangers on the road, which weigh a lot more, go a lot faster and do far more damage. |

I mostly ride a motorbike to work but do Cycle, when the weather's good, so will see from both sides. I rarely use the cycle lanes as feel safer, as there are too many bad cyclists and things like those three wheel tourist taxis!! Nothing beats a couple of hours at the weekend doing laps at Regents Park and as Juzzie said the vast majority do stop at lights or slow down to a walking pace if safe.
Not sure registering and insurance is the solution, but they do need to come down heavy on stuff like Lime bike users on phones at 25mph or cyclists going full speed through lights. |

If we do get an Eze windfall bonus you wouldn't blame them for putting some if not all towards the operating costs for a couple of years. |

I know there's another thread but he seems settled in England, could be perfect timing to be the next England manager. |

Pretty mainstream for me
Primal Scream (Screamadelica)
Prince
Talking Heads
Blondie
Kasabian
U2 (1979-99)
The Specials
Madness
Eminem
Oasis
Couldn't fit in The Stones, INXS, The Clash or Stone Roses in.

I'm going with TNT (BT) but after reading online it will be three different commentaries and presenters on DAZN, Sky and TNT.
Some boxing nerds have preferences and apparently TNT have a slight bias to Fury.
Todd Grisham on DAZN seems to be THE boxing equivalent of Michael Owen on BT and must be avoided at all costs. 😂🥊 |

I am driver, that drives on the inside lane approaching a middle lane hogger doing half my speed and does the two lane move to the right to overtake, then performs the two lane move back to the inside lane.
I am guessing the middle lane hogger tuts and says 'look at that lunatic'
I have seen the road signs flash up with messages telling people to not hog the middle lane but I am sure these drivers are still totally oblivious 🤯 |
