When to call it a day?

what is absolutely appalling were the comments.

Usually best not to read the bottom half of the Internet. There are a lot of people express their nastiness when anonymous. If they were held accountable for their comments, many would be banged up for hate speech.

Perhaps they should move to Ch8na, where fewer people get arrested for their online opinions?

Steady on, motorcyclists were the only ones who saw an increase in fatalities. Plus car occupants and motorcyclists, make up by far the biggest proportion of fatalities followed by pedestrians and cyclists.

You can paint a picture many ways with statistics. I have seen in previous outputs that motorcyclists have about 10 times the risk of a serious accident per mile compared to cyclists.

I did highlight that it meant you were more likely to be killed on a motorcycle. which is a bit like the old Autobahn stats that used to say they were the safest roads in the world because there were fewer crashes, unfortunately if you did crash, the speed of the crash meant you were most likely to be killed so it was a bit of a falsehood to claim they were safest.

but I still think that there are now more cyclists being injured than motorcyclists is significant change from these stats, and these are ksi stats, ie the ones actually reported, theres probably an entire sub class of crashes/injuries that cyclists just never report, are completely unknown, whereas motorcyclist crashes by their very nature the near majority of them are going to get reported because they need medical help, so any of the cyclist ones are going to be fairly significant too.
