Not really - there is about 1 cyclist killed every three days in the

but it is very hard
to have any sympathy for them when it seems that the majority of
cyclists haven't any concern about mowing pedestrians down, going the
wrong way along one-way streets, cycling on pavements, cycling without
lights and wearing dark clothes (how stupid is that), and telling me
to "fcuk off" for being in their way.

It must be a London thing. Everyone is in a rush and sod everyone
else. This includes red faced cabbies shouting at pedestrians for
being in their way, pedestrians on smart phones walking into the road
without looking and punch ups over parking places. The selfish people
you see on bikes would be just as selfish if they were in cars or on
motorbikes, but unlike drivers, cyclists on average kill zero people
year after year.
