Methinks you do exaggerate a tad.

No. I *am* middle-aged, and I *was* very nearly sent flying by a
cyclist jumping a red light on Brixton Road. And it was within the last
two months, so very recently.

The number of pedestrians killed by cylists in the carriageway is 0.1%
of the number killed by motor vehicles.

Do feel free to point out where I said anything about being killed? I
said "knocked down" - even were one not to be injured, I would really
rather not be knocked down, whether by a cyclist, pedestrian or even a
passing lamp-post!
