    Sensible article focussing on risk to pedestrians with over five hundred fatalities or serious injuries and cyclists with approx 160

    Not many comments but reaction from one called pedantic flipping it round to blaming cyclists but then agreeing that infrastructure needs to be improved which is what the article says

    It's interesting that the article says that pedestrian casualties are worse in Scotland than England - I wonder why that is.

    I'm loving the comments so far about "Get all cyclists and pedestrians off the roads and they'll be no more accidents"
