Myths about cycling, busted

If you compare injury per mile travelled walking is more risky than cycling, cycling is slightly more risky than sitting on a bus

FFS I don't read stats before choosing an activity. Cycling might not be dangerous but cyclists are very vulnerable, our safety relies a lot on the competence of other road users. It can be fun and healthy but it is also stressful and distressing. Close calls, seeing a cyclist on the floor in shock, in pain because they've just had an accident. The law as it stands does not protect vulnerable road users. Recognising that we are vulnerable and changing perceptions is the only way we'll get more people cycling, not by brandishing pie charts and semantics every time someone says cycling is dangerous.

pfffffff.
