Cyclists are killing, being killed, and having sex problems according to the media.
Two of them could very easily be prevented in the future through the clever application of a very simple thing called cycle lanes - alongside both pedestrians and motorists waking up and paying attention. And not parking in them, as I have seen so many people do.
Too many pedestrians pay absolutely no attention to cyclists and put themselves in danger by walking out right in front of them. And most motorists pay no attention to cyclists and are more more bothered with being right up behind the car in front and saving themselves about five seconds. All with absolutely no thought about the cyclist.
There’s also the idiocy that is “traffic calming”. Speed bumps - especially those ones in the middle of the road - and chicanes put cyclists in often mortal danger because motorists are too busy avoiding/dealing with them to pay attention to other road users. This is a known fact - but because of the obsession with “traffic calming”, cyclists are injured and killed.
Until cycle lanes are compulsory on all roads, cyclists will kill and be killed.
Oh, and as for the sex thing? Absolutely no problems here.
