Most dangerous users?

That's simple - it's other people.

Waist size?

There's more than a few heavyweight females as well.

As opposed to what other sort of killed?

It's the worst way to go.

[QUOTE 4939097, member: 1314"]Is it really still that 16-24 male cohort, or an older one? Simply from an anecadata pov it's not the younger age group I'm most careful around but high sided and long sided vehicles mainly driven by middle-aged men.[/QUOTE]
Lorries and HGVs are the most dangerous (statistically) to cyclists in London.

[QUOTE 4939121, member: 1314"], for a nuanced perception of the groups I should be most wary of.[/QUOTE]
So you want to look a driver in the face, decide what demographic they belong to, and adjust your cycling accordingly? That's insane.

Selfish drivers cause immense frustration on main roads by blocking the road at relatively slow speeds and forcing the reckless into dangerous overtaking. Slow " careful" drivers are a menace and don't get me started on tour buses and their drivers.

People driving to weddings. I was nearly killed by a driver who pulled into the road space my car was occupying because his rear passenger windows were given over to hanging fancy frocks and morning suits rather than as useful observation devices.

Oh look - Paul Smith has been reincarnated...

I didn't know he was dead

I did try to work out how you mean, but there are rather a lot of Paul Smiths. Hell, there are 8 English footballers (and one Scot) of that name.
