> Here's an anecdote, since this already isn't an argument based on numbers and facts. I've never been hit by a car in London. In the space of a year, I've been hit by two cyclists and lost my takeaway dinner on account of a third. That's pretty much my experience too. However, my comment was downvoted to the death, as it doesn't make sense in statistical terms. Anyway, one very real issue here is that the average London cyclist doesn't know when it's safe to pass a red light, and when it's not. There is a lack of road-reading skills.
