Charlie Alliston should have been using a front brake, but a few things got lost in the media frenzy:
- More pedestrians are killed by motor vehicle than bikes in London BY FAR
- More cyclists are killed by motor vehicles than bikes in London BY FAR
- More motorists are killed by motor vehicles than bikes in London BY FAR
