There is, apparently, a story on cyclists being taken out by drivers.
Looks like the angle is "poor little cyclists"
Perhaps someone more articulate than I can watch this and make relevant comments about "poor little motorcyclists" too.

Poor cyclists eh? Yeah, tough being them, most of them go about their riding in a totally respectful and responsible way and they get taken out by ignorant dick heads driving cars.
Oh, wait a moment, that could apply to us too

Mind you, I dont really like cyclists much, they take the road like they own it...going 20kph while not letting car pass(cos they taking up 1/3 of the road) if theres parked cars, its even worse. No doubt, not all of them do that.Poor cyclists eh?

I've had that happen to me both when cycling and riding my motorcicle.Poor cyclists eh? Yeah, tough being them, most of them go about their riding in a totally respectful and responsible way and they get taken out by ignorant dick heads driving cars.

It's much more intimidating on a push bike though, and I've had it happen probably as much as five times where cars have decided they need my space more than me and almost pushed me into the curb, only to then have me go past them 20m later when they slow for traffic.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

I don't know that I want to be considered a "poor little motorcyclist" though.
I'm big enough and ugly enough to look after myself.
I have no expectation of the general public to look out for my safety.

poor little cyclists.... at least they have a free ACC system looking after them in time of need!
Shaken, not stirred in the shakey city!
Comfortably numb
Especially as many of them consider lycra and chilli bin lids as suitable riding attire

Did anyone see this? Interesting angle, namely:
Cyclists are mostly pretty good. The odd one is a menace (overtaking dangerously, etc) and sometimes they hog the road, causing frustration. When there is an accident, regardless of fault, they usually come off second best to the car involved.
Statictically, they are usually only soley responsible for 25% of accidents where another vehicle is involved.
Sound vaguely familiar?
