I was just thinking myself that compared with all the snappy & poisonous Australian wildlife the virus doesn't seem that bad....
But how much of that official statistical impression is because the UK excludes many cyclist injuries from road casualty counts, both formally (UK doesn't count dropping an ebike on oneself when dismounting as a road casualty, but NL and some others do) and informally (the continuing refusal of several police forces to accept that things like no-motors-except-access bypassed former A roads are still roads, so they don't record the injuries on them). Just be cautious about international comparisons: many of the international datasets are for comparing with history not between countries, so don't even try to adjust for this.Not really. As mad as it may seem from our perspective, the UKs roads are some of he safest in the world.

I occasionally use the Gatekeeper in Cardiff centre for meet-ups with old colleagues or the Mount Stuart down the Bay for bacon sandwiches on a bike ride. They are OK but nothing more. The Ernest Willows in City Road is cheap and not so cheerful.
I must admit Spoons is not my first pub of choice when out and about, and on rides I usually eat at Greggs.noted, though you should get about more.
More upmarket 😁I must admit Spoons is not my first pub of choice when out and about, and on rides I usually eat at Greggs.
That was going so well until the final word! Greggs are a last resort for when real cake shops are closed or you need food before leaving a suburban chain-store tarmac wasteland.I must admit Spoons is not my first pub of choice when out and about, and on rides I usually eat at Greggs.
