Bicycles more dangerous than terrorism?

Not sure why everyone is so critical of the article ?

The article makes no other claim than that in the aftermath of the 7/7 attack there was an uptake in cycling - and a corollary increase in fatal cycling accidents.

Why the incandescent responses ?

That more people die in cycling accidents than terrorism in the UK (and probably the world) is a demonstrable fact.

It's terrifically badly written.
