• So where is the health signal in the stats?

    In an article about road casualties, Cycling UK inserted the following
    comment in large font:

    QUOTE
    “When you think about the 3.3 billion miles accumulated by everyone who cycled over the year, these figures also tell us that cycling is much more likely to improve the health than damage or threaten it”.

    Cherry Allan, campaigns information officer
    ENDQUOTE

    Was there any particular reason for inserting such an unsupported comment
    in an article otherwise larded with statistics?
