    Was bumbling about the interwibble and came across this:

    <www.test-tube.org.uk/videos/pages_alex_motorcycle_bbc_part2.htm>

    It's a pretty good summary of some of the more common misfortunes that
    motorcyclists face.  Was thinking about doing similar for cycling.  Has
    anyone got a rundown of the top five/ten/whatever hazards of cycling?

    I'm fed up with all this negative stuff about the hazards of cycling.
    How about a top ten best things about cycling?

    Maybe, if the glass-half-empty brigade have 10 hazards.

    I'll add, for the benefit of the younger generation:
    Cool, fast, autonomous
