    Evidence over cycle safety 'bypassed in favour of opinions'
    In front of them sat experts from campaigning bodies, transport research and the police - all ready to get into a proper discussion - and yet the MPs demonstrated that they didn't even know the most basic of facts.

    Evidence and statistics were bypassed in favour of opinions and anecdotes on sideline topics.

    Such a clear demonstration of lack of research and understanding at this level of seniority would, in any other business, be classed as negligent.

    It was a pathetic performance, like listening to a bunch of pig-ignorant, prejudiced saloon-bar bores.
