> Now when you have both the data and words of someone who is actually experiencing it every day are you willing to reconsider? No because the data has a gaping hole: it records cyclist deaths per capita, not cyclist deaths per cyclist. The UK looks “good” but cyclist uptake is like 1% compared to Dutch uptake which is FAR MORE than 1%. You expect more people to die doing a thing if more people do a thing. Dutch cyclists are also more common than Spanish cyclists, again so you’d expect to see higher numbers. There’s no breakdown by country and by other party involved in there. Just separate charts, so you can’t say more drivers are running over more cyclists because it’s just not in the data. Also, I’ve experienced cycling in different European countries and you don’t need 500 hours to see the stark difference between countries that get it and countries that don’t. > The infrastucture is terrible and dangerous. This doesn’t surprise me, most countries are shit at it. > It would be much better to just change the law to: "cyclist can be on the road whenever they please and can take the lane when they think it's for their safety". This is the law in the UK. Read some Twitter threads and you’ll see drivers don’t appreciate it. The only thing keeping us safe is cameras with good police enforcement.
