I don’t see why blind bends and a 60 mph speed limit would mean that a road is dangerous to cycle on? Although I guess if I attached a motor to my bike so that I could ride it at least 60 mph, made it about 2 m wide and at least 1,000 kg heavier, and then drove it around blind bends at 60 mph...

Cyclists don't cycle faster than the national speed limit, more a steady and safe 15 to 20 mph, and even if they did they would slow down at blind bends to a safe speed.

Why are they dangerous?

Why do you think, based on my assertion above, that I think that?

What is outdated and needs revising, far more than cycle law, is some people's attitude towards people who ride bikes.

Crime: Attempting to slap a work van. Punishment: 50/50 chance of death/serious injury. Judge: Unhinged owner of work van.

So it's ok to drive into things in the middle of the road deliberately?

The cyclist was causing some mild annoyance/being a bit silly, the van driver could have killed the cyclist.
