In other words, the data collated by TfL and accepted by the mayor
clearly shows that bendy buses are not dangerous for cyclists.

Those figures read dangerous to me. How many bendies are there and how
many accidents involving other buses are there, and how many of them are
there?

Hmm. There were 819 serious cyclist accidents in 07/08, so bendies are
responsible for a whopping 0.25% of the total.

Breaking accident rates down into bendies versus regular buses doesn't
really make sense, as a) the figures are so low they'll be massively
skewed by noise and b) bendies are used on the busiest routes in the
centre of town.

I hate bendies because they are just too long to mix with other traffic.

Based on what evidence?
