Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many pedestrians were knocked over by cyclists in each of the last three years; and of those, how many sustained serious injuries.
The Secretary of State for Transport has committed to tackling dangerous cycling by making sure the process for prosecuting dangerous cyclists is more straightforward.
The number of reported pedestrian casualties, including seriously injured (adjusted) casualties, in collisions where the pedestrian is hit by a pedal cyclist in each of the last 3 years is shown in the table. The Department does not hold any data on uninjured pedestrians knocked over by pedal cyclists.
Year | Serious (adjusted) | Total pedestrian casualties hit by a pedal cyclist |
2018 | 154 | 482 |
2019 | 134 | 408 |
2020 | 103 | 308 |
