Why are more women than men killed in cycling accidents

[Wester]

It seems to me that far more women than men are killed in cycling accidents in London if this is correct why does it happen ? anybody know anymore on the subject and have any facts and figures on the subject

There's already a thread on this in the Advocacy forum - look for something like '2 more women die in London'

It's not correct. If you look across all cyclist fatalities in London between 2006 and 2016 (for example) you'll find that the majority of those killed were men - around 2/3rds.

What happens is that there are sometimes 'clumps' of deaths which seems to suggest that women are more likely to be killed - but that isn't necessarily the case.

As others have said, this is being discussed elsewhere.

I have flagged this post- there is no place for facts and accuracy when debating on the internet- you should be ashamed of yourself

It'll be confusing having two threads on this subject running concurrently, so with apologies to the OP please see the thread in the Advocacy and Safety forum: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/2-more-women-die-in-london.213769/
