HenryB "There is a world of difference between a near-miss or slight knock between a cyclist and a pedestrian on a shared pavement and a pedestrian being hit at high speed by a car or crushed under the wheels of a lorry. It seems to me it is more important to focus on reducing the later rather than the former." Why one or the other? Why not both? Not all collisions between cyclists and pedestrians on a footpath result in a "slight knock". I would not consider broken bones to be trivial injuries. There have been four people killed by cyclists on pavements ( not shared paths)in the last five years, that I know of. There may be more.
