The fact that you make bold statements based purely on, by your own admission, guesswork with no evidence means you cannot cry foul when someone pulls you up on it.
If you actually want to understand the issues rather than commenting from a position of ignorance, might I suggest you try reading some of the evidence that is out there. The Bicycle Helmet Research Foundation would be a good place to start your education.
Oh - but the majority do. Most cycle lanes are non-mandatory, which means that they can be used by other vehicles if a cyclist is not in them.
I am assuming that you know the difference between a cycle lane and a cycle track/path... but maybe I am assuming too much, so here's some more reading to help with your eduction. I suggest you start with chapters 7 and 8.[/quote]
Ah I see your not a wined up merchant your a pedant. - hence the bit about cycle lanes - what does anyone care if traffic are allowed on a cycle lane - if thiers no cyclist. - but its a pedantic point.
and yes I,ve read helmet reasurch stuff
its the old arguement the safer you make things the more risk people take. - if you removed all safety devices from cars , made them really hard to stear , absolute crap brakes and a big dagger infront fron the stearing wheel we would all drive safely because we would be constantly aware of the danger
sorry people would still drive like maniacs - there just would be more dead ones.
