Am I missing something on this thread (and I've read it all)
Cycling dangerously, not looking around, being in a world of your own etc etc has got anything to do with your sex does it - both men and women do this. Likewise, trying to give safer cycling tips are quite often met with a less than favourable response by both sexes.
And as for more women being killed by lorries and trucks turning left, where is the evidence that this has anything to do with the fact they have a womb? It's just a sad, unfortunate coincidence, surely?
I think the point I'm laboring to make is that what exactly makes cycling in traffic more risky to women, than men?
