How much bodily harm did he cause?

I know, but that's what you have (accidentally) done. That's what "18 to 22 percent of cyclists rode through red lights each week" means. Agreed. And if you were watching 1 set of lights at a time, and you saw 18 to 22 percent of cyclist jump them. That's the same as saying "between 18 and 22...

And for the fourth time, you've got it completely wrong. Those that you didn't see go through a light may have gone through another light on their journey. Or on their return journey. Or they may have gone through the same light or another light on a different day. You'd need to see the whole of...

I wasn't saying it wasn't rigorous enough or that you need to do more, I was just saying that you wrote the result down incorrectly. You said "between 18 and 22 percent of cyclists rode through red lights every week". What you meant was "between 18 and 22 percent of cyclists rode through each...

Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear.

I think you may have misinterpreted the results. What it that 20% of cyclists jumped each red light? As Stat Bro says, you'd have to see every light a cyclist went through to be sure they jumped none of them.

Good lord, you're quite right, I had a senior moment (quite different to being stupid you understand).

And that's with a back break, which he didn't have! I think for most people a back brake is easier to control than braking with a fixie. Not sure if that's right Stat Brother?

And even further if he was going slower. Blimey. The suggestion that she might have died had he been cycling a normal road legal bike, and used his brakes, seems unlikely to me.

Have you seen the NSC threads on drivers using mobiles? It depends on the profile of the court case etc. No he didn't. His back wheel was fixed to the pedals, but that's not the same thing. Most cars aren't 2 tonnes either. It was still a fast moving vehicle, easily capable of killing someone...

That's a fair question, and she would be partly to blame, as she had stepped onto a road without looking sufficiently. The question is, is it reasonable to think their actions (the killer) would result in the death of another? I think that's certainly reasonable in the case of someone riding a...

Non of us had a bike that fast without brakes. And so what if we did? That's like a drunk driver killing someone and saying we've all driven over the limit before so let them off. If this was a car driver who was using a mobile phone at the time of the accident, NSC would have melted with...

Only in the eyes of the law, not necessarily in reality.
