Moronic answer as it’s nothing to do with what I said, if you read it properly.

Big difference...the cyclists are unlikely to kill someone else. Just themselves.I would imagine the type of cyclist who behaves badly on the road is highly likely to behave just as badly when driving a car.

Er, between 2005-2018, 542 people were killed by cars driving on the pavement. Not on the roads; Driving. on. the. pavement. Let that sink in.Moronic post.
Innocent People have been killed by cunts cycling on the pavement.
The number of people killed by cyclists riding on the pavement in that same time frame was 6.

I came to the conclusion many years ago that, as with guns, the problem lies entirely with the human element rather than the equipment involved.
People can be incredibly stupid.

That’s true mate, though how about the poor driver who kills a cyclist through no fault of his own, because the cyclist has jumped a red light etc?Big difference...the cyclists are unlikely to kill someone else. Just themselves.

My brother got knocked of his bike last February. He wasn't wearing a helmet, sadly. He now has a severe brain injury and after working for the past 40 years, he now has very bad depression as he's not able to go back to work. I could go on for a week about the difference it has made to him and his family. I just wish he had listened to us all and worn a helmet.I wish they passed a law requiring all cyclists to wear a suitable helmet. I now expect numerous hilarious pictures of "suitable helmets"!
if they work in A&E, i'd say they are affected by lots of people not doing the basics of safetyHow does a cyclist not wearing a helmet affect you?
Seems an odd thing to be annoyed about

The problem is the disproportionate level of outrage when it happens.Moronic post.

It's around 1 or 2 PER YEAR, and whilst every death is tragic, motorists are responsible for 5 deaths EVERY SINGLE DAY and nobody really bats an eyelid. The majority if those deaths do not result in the driver facing a jail sentence.
