right for most of us this is not news, however we now have a new validated study to give to the people that blame cyclists for all sorts of things
New UK government study on cycling, via The Guardian.
this is huge! Sustrans just reported on this via their Facebook feed and a full report should be coming out and available to the general public shortly.
in short in the vast majority of accidents where police were present the cyclist's lack of stopping at red lights, or dark clothing, or lack of lights only contributed to 2% of cases each for a grand total of ~8% of overall accidents involving cars
yep its those damn no helmet dark cyclists running red lights are are ruining our cities ;)
