Newcastle has been ranked the second most dangerous place in the UK for cyclists in a new survey. It was based on data 'scraped' from over 12,000 cycling routes from a reputable cycling network site.
The number of bike accidents, average steepness of routes, surface quality and lighting across cycling routes were all analysed to assign a danger score to 41 cities across the UK.
According to the findings, Birmingham was the most dangerous city followed by Newcastle and then Plymouth. Sunderland, the only other North East city to feature, was ranked 17th.
