I started this on the 'cyclist down in Musselburgh' thread.
Think its own thread more appropriate
"
For me it highlights that over the last couple of years the incidents where bike riders have died (SIs are less likely to be reported) the circumstances are (inevitably) different, but, unless the case actually goes to court, the actual reasons/'blame' don't seem to emerge publicly.
I would hope all relevant details are collated (not just crashes involving bikes) and shared with those responsible for 'road safety'.
This may now be easier because of Police Scotland.
I think it would be better if this info was available publicly so that 'common factors' (if any) could be identified.
There is an SoS story today about 'safety around schools' which seems to be based on all child incidents without reference to time of day.
