Ah, but only when the agenda is to demonise or restrict motorists in some way, pretend that "speeding" is dangerous in itself, etc. When the agenda is instead to minimise restrictions on cyclists (by, say, ensuring that helmets don't become compulsory), then suddenly cycling is "remarkably safe".

It's no wonder many psycholists are deranged...having to keep contradicting oneself like that can't do anyone any good.
