Rule 26: 8 out of 10 (repair) kits

In truth there is only one statistic we need; "they're all twats" (Rule 1), i.e. 100% of cyclists.  That is however not always sufficient when stating our case under the spotlight of social media.  What we need is statistics on our side.

These statistics need not have any scientific basis or be supported by any research.  They only need to a) sound about right and b) overwhelmingly support the theory that cyclists are the menace they clearly are.

Such examples seen on the CCB; "8 out of 10 cyclists don't use the cycle path" and "2 out of 3 cyclists jump the red lights".

Statistics are in no way to be restricted to just cyclists but also other road users to support our cause, a notable contribution being "only 1 in 1,000 cars jump the lights".  Thus firmly placing the spotlight on our lycra enemy.

  1. 8 out of 10 cyclist appreciate that cycle paths are not fit for purpose or understand that the speed they are comfortable riding at exceeds that which is safe around pedestrian users on shared paths.

    PS red light jumpers ( in all forms of transport) gets my goat too.
