00:00 Cyclists, are they safe?
00:03 Well we've got one here riding up the middle of a pedestrian pathway that really grinds
00:08 my gears.
00:09 Well two wheels are never going to be safer than four wheels.
00:14 You only look at most biocrashes to know that.
00:17 So cyclists, I used to be a cyclist and I never felt particularly safe.
00:22 That just goes with the territory.
00:24 I live in Derby and they are just building a lot of new cycle lanes.
00:30 Generally speaking we're very well off for off-road cycle paths but there are certain
00:37 main roads which still need development.
00:41 I suppose that's what really aggravates me when you see cyclists getting overly annoyed
00:46 and then riding up the middle of what we've just seen is a pedestrian walkway.
00:50 And now I've completely forgotten what your question is.
00:53 Are they dangerous, are they safe?
00:55 You're never going to get the danger out of travelling.
