1+ to hippy, the cyclists did have a choice to either cycles safety or risk his/her live quite often (from what I see as well), always assumed the vehicle cannot see you, even if you made eyes contact with the said vehicle.

The graph is starting to point upwards again this year. Could be a blip. Could be massive increase in cycle sales, take-up of c2w schemes, increasing numbers of construction vehicles on the roads...

I wouldn't dispute the fact the death happening 15 times in cyclist/HGV accidents is 'far too often'.

well, 1 death is far too much, let alone 15 (in my viewpoint), but in a realistic sense of how many people started to cycles (probably double that of 2005), the death tolls is going down.
