Cyclists are ruling the streets as they hit an all time record for pedestrian injuries and half admit to brazenly running red lights every day.

For the year 2024 police recorded 603 accidents where a civilian was injured in a bike collision, Department for Transport road casualty figures show.

Meanwhile in 2023, 507 similar injuries were reported.

Last year also made a record for the most casualties involving cyclists on pavements and at zebra crossings as 321 incidents were recorded - a nine per cent increase from the 292 in 2023.

Two pedestrians were even killed in 2024 in a cycling collision.
