I've yet to see any particular evidence to the contrary
I'm not aware of any figures either. I would assume that the effects on drivers' judgements are duplicated, though, and I'm as reluctant to trust cyclists saying they're safe and unaffected as I would be to agree with a motorist who said the same (of which, of course, there have been a great many).
I'm curious as to why you're so vehemently anti
I think cyclists take a far too lax view of road safety and discipline in this town. I was a regular cyclist for about 20 years before I moved down here, and I'm stunned by what quite a lot of people seem to think is reasonable. The same is true to a certain extent of drivers too, although the difference isn't as great.
I don't want to give the impression that I think cycling is The Problem here - it's not. It's not quite The Solution either, but it's a major part of it. This doesn't mean I don't have opinions about what standards should be kept.
