Wasn't too chuffed with their soft implication that a left hook is the dreaded undertake. We all know left hooks are rarely that and are some impatient maniac overtaking and lurching violently to the left.

Also wasn't too chuffed with the 442 people are killed or injured in accidents with cyclists in Cambridgeshire every year. That's troublemaking.

Hmmm...troubling and also strange, seeing number of people killed by cyclists each year averages one unfortunate individual.

Statistically around a dozen or so of those accidents will have been the cyclist's fault, and the other 450 caused by motorists.

(In London, the motorist is reckoned to be at fault in 96.7% of cases - reckoned by the police, that is; Met figures.)

What happened in the first eight minutes?

Erm...the first 8 mins were good......then down hill. Just an overview, Quentin saying he'd never ride a bike in a city...ho...ho....

Then the fake accident's started...... all very badly done...........

465 to me sounds more like the total hospital admissions for traffic injuries there - not one-and-a-bit injuries a day associated with cycling. Because, let's face it, very few of those injured in accidents with bicycles are going to be motorists.

So are Cambridge hospitals really admitting one and a bit injured cyclists every single day, then? Somehow I doubt it. This figure has been borrowed from some other statistic.
