This news report from Channel 7 news last night claims that bicycle accidents have increased in the last 6 months compared with the previous 6 months. Well the first thing is that is not a comparable result. To really compare they need to look at the same 6 months last year. Things run in cycles that is just the way is and like needs to be compared with like. The other thing that strikes me about this report is the fact they they do not list the statistics on who was at fault in the majority of accidents (adult cyclist to adult motorist). What was a surprise was the bit where they interviewed a bloke that was hit by a car and let him just tell what happened.
Maybe the media in Brisbane is finally getting less hostile towards people that just happen to ride a bike.
