Charlie Alliston should have been using a front brake, but a few things got lost in the media frenzy:

- More pedestrians are killed by motor vehicle than bikes in London BY FAR

- More cyclists are killed by motor vehicles than bikes in London BY FAR

- More motorists are killed by motor vehicles than bikes in London BY FAR

It was incredibly depressing to watch people spend so much attention on one (pretty rare!) case rather the real sources of road danger in the city.

On top of that, the associated pollution kills far more people, contributes to climate change, and causes tons of respiratory illness.
