"In 2007, an internal report for Transport for London concluded women
cyclists are far more likely to be killed by lorries because, unlike
men, they tend to obey red lights and wait at junctions in the
driver's blind spot."
This is not true, it's a misreporting. Hypothesis printed as fact.
It's bollocks, the report did not say that at all.
The bit about women being reluctant to use ASLs because they feel
exposed to public gaze sounds like a load of made-up twaddle as well.
