I have another way to make Cyclists cause less accidents..............................Put them on the pavement!!
Been saying it for years.
Road - Cycilist hit's car/gets hit by car - Little protection - high chance of serious injury or fatality, further chance of pile up and inevitable obstruction/traffic jam.
Pavement - Cycilist hits pedestrian - Low chance of serious injusry Probable chance of minor injury. very little chance of fatality. Pedestrian could move out of the way in most cases due to the relatively low speed of the cyclist compared to that of a car.
It's just sensible!! I really don't know why the council did not take my idea seriously.
