In several posts you have put the very strange idea of "sharp metal
protrusions" on cycles, I have to ask, have you actually been near a cycle
in the last 20 years?


I have, and built several from components, I happen to know that the
ends of my handlebars are quite capable breaking a car mirror, so I
imagine that it could do immense damage to the arm or torso of an adult,
or the head of a child when they step out in front of you between cars
when travelling at a normal speed.

We were talking about "sharp metal objects", as I said impacts still hurt.
