Labour councillor slams 'arrogant' cycling group, claims cyclists are often the 'biggest threat' to pedestrians... only to be shown road safety statistics to the contrary... cycling
Writing to the fellow Bristolian politician, Cllr Breckels asked for a"balance" between"conflicting travel needs and limited road space".
"I am all for sensible infrastructure to make cycling and walking safer for all. I am also fully supporting the Liveable Neighbourhoods pilot which will also make walking and cycling safer in our neck of the woods." "While many cyclists are sensible and considerate, and several in my group cycle, a few years back I had to deal with a cyclist objecting to a pedestrian crossing being installed on a busy road because it would inconvenience him. My trying to save pedestrians from taking their life in their hands just to cross the road didn't seem to matter to him.
"A friend and her 70-year-old mother were knocked down in Bristol by a cyclist who then sped off. She raised the incident with the [Bristol] Cycling Campaign and got a whole lot of grief for it."
