[bikeqld] peds and cyclists still vulnerable

[Michael Yeates]

The following may be of interest ... but note in particular how 
articles such as this (and/or the "research" they "report") tend not 
to question why there are crashes that kill or injure peds and 
cyclists .. but rather concentrate on promoting secondary 
"protective" measures such as helmets or off-road paths ... but not 
the known solutions to the primary causes in urban areas eg motor 
vehicles permitted and thus encouraged to travel at 50, 60 and 70km/h 
not 30km/h when people ie peds and cyclists, are expected and/or are about.
