"Highways England said there had been six accidents involving cyclists in the past five years, including one fatal collision."
It says it is seeking the ban "in the interests of road safety".
during the same five-year period there had been "271 car accidents with four fatalities".

Per journey or per kilometre travelled it may be statistically significant.
But it's still a bollocks reason and essentially Government sanctioned victim blaming and treating the symptom not the underlying problem.
I haven't found where objections need to be made, there's probably a link over on TTF but I'm too scared to go look.

She was saying how hard it would be to sell their tandem. Terribly sad
