Vilifying cyclists is not helpful and those with the power to influence should be more careful about the damage it could do.
A 2022 report issued by the Department of Infrastructure showed 525 cyclists were killed or seriously injured on our roads over the 10 years from 2011-2020.
That’s an average of 52.5 people a year who were hurt or died after getting on their bikes to make a journey. And painting a target on the backs of other pedal bike users is irresponsible, to say the least.
