Little changes we can make to normalise cycling and encourage its uptake

Hardly good research, an article from a single insurance broker with no methodology ( other than policies are sold as cyclist/driver policies ) Without the methodology being given it's just as likely that cyclist/drivers make less claims because they cycle more and drive less, and the only "actual" research from Australia is hardly cast iron in its conclusions.

 "In a lab setting Beanland and her associates found that cyclist-drivers responded to fresh information more quickly than motorists who did not cycle. "

If you want to help emergency services, drive less, cycle more. You’ll leave more room for them on the road, and you’ll be less likely to call them out for your heart attack or stroke.

Oooh yes please, I can’t wait

I'll let you know how suicidal and depressed I become if I don't manage to cover my and my families financial needs by driving less but thank you for your faux concern.

All such incidents would be in the public domain in press reports, court reports, coroner inquest reports. I’ve never heard of any such incidents and I follow these matters closely. I believe you’re making up stories about dead children to further your agenda of preserving entitlement for motorists.

Well, that escalated quickly. Is there any chance that you do some non-work related driving perhaps? Or any chance of you finding work doing something other than driving, if you so chose?

A recent study conducted by Frontiers Media found that cyclists consistently make better drivers than other road users.

The study, which was conducted by Ole J. Johansson and Aslak Fhyri and funded by the Institute of Transport Economics, found that cyclists know the dangers of the road and that knowledge translates to their driving behaviour, and how often they use their phone while driving.

Cyclists spend 21 per cent less time speeding than the typical drivers, and have 14 per cent fewer hard brakes. They are also generally less distracted than the average driver by about six per cent.

I myself thought that perhaps you might have followed the ACTUAL link to the study rather than the grablines ( you're not a Daily Mail reader perchance?)

I mean if you want to just stick to grablines then perhaps this quote demonstrates the futility of your currant argument

Cyclists spend 21 per cent less time speeding than the typical drivers, and have 14 per cent fewer hard brakes. They are also generally less distracted than the average driver by about six per cent.

The study also found that cyclists spend less time actively texting or using apps by six per cent, but supposedly do spend 11 per cent more time than average with handheld calls.

This is a drastic contrast to those who use aeroplane as a regular means of transport, who supposedly spend 35 per cent more time speeding than the average driver. Frequent fliers are more distracted overall, spending ten per cent more of their time with phone-related activities. They also spend 77 per cent more time on hands-free phone calls than the typical driver.

Public transit commuters have also picked up bad habits according to the report; commuters are seven per cent more distracted than the average driver – they text more often, make more hands-free, and handheld phone calls. But, they also spend 11 per cent less time speeding and make nearly 13 per cent less hard brakes.

All in all I think I can say that the link you posted is complete shite.

Do I even want to bother with your second link given the quality ( total lack of ) of the first.
