“Over the past seven years

“Over the past seven years there have been 25 pedestrians killed in accidents with bikes and another 700 seriously injured – meaning roughly two people every week are being killed or badly hurt in crashes with bikes”

 

So 1 pedestrian killed every 100 days, bundling it with the ‘hurt’ statistics is deliberately misleading.

 

“Mrs Briggs’s widower Matthew, from Lewisham…”

 

Never heard of this chap before, is he going into Big Brother or The Apprentice soon?

 

“Charlie Alliston… as he sped through east London…  had no front brakes”

 

Speeding below the speed limit, and just how many front brakes should a bike have?

 

And i was only skimming…
