Very weird! I posted a response here yesterday and it disappeared! Cycling is going to increase as oil becomes unaffordable; cities should be planning for this. I don't think I've ever read a report of a pedestrian killed by a cyclist, while deaths and devastating injuries are far too common for cyclists. (A friend of mine was dragged screaming under a 4x4 in Dublin for 100 metres, with her bicycle, while desperate pedestrians and drivers tried to alert the oblivious driver.) Some cities that are successfully giving cyclists good facilities and separating them from the dangerous cars, vans and trucks.
