Over the past year, I can recall one situation I observed where I felt
that a motorist had potentially caused danger to a cyclist. It would be
four or five where the cause of the danger was the cyclist.

... and that's before we get on to the question of whether cyclists have
lights and visible reflectors when they go out at night...

As a pedestrian, I feel threatened by both bad drivers and bad cyclists -
and I certainly accept that there are bad pedestrians as well. However,
in general driving offences in towns (where I am most likely to be
walking) are illegal parking and speeding. What they don't do is to drive
at night with no lights, to drive the wrong way up one-way streets, or to
to crash red traffic lights. I see this behaviour from cyclists just
about every day, and I am not exaggerating.
