Good evening and welcome to BBC Points West.

:00:09.:00:13.

Our headlines tonight: The bus driver who lost his cool. He's

:00:13.:00:15.

caught deliberately ramming a cyclist in dramatic shots from a

:00:15.:00:21.

roadside camera. Rest in peace. Flowers for the

:00:21.:00:24.

priest killed in his own vicarage as police continue to question a

:00:24.:00:27.

man. Beats College Green - the squatters

:00:27.:00:37.
:00:37.:00:37.

who've occupied a two million pound mansion. It is more than fair to be

:00:37.:00:42.

here as the place is not being used and we are utilising the space.

:00:42.:00:46.

When they get it back, they will get it back better.

:00:46.:00:49.

And a warning tonight that the wonders of the Severn Estuary face

:00:49.:00:55.

a serious threat over the next century.

:00:55.:01:00.

Good evening. An incident of road rage that almost killed a cyclist

:01:00.:01:03.

in Bristol. Bus driver Gavin Hill has been jailed for using his

:01:03.:01:05.

vehicle as a weapon, when he deliberately swerved into cyclist

:01:05.:01:10.

Philip Mead. It all started after an argument in

:01:10.:01:14.

the morning rush hour, but ended with a devastating result. Sabet

:01:14.:01:23.

Choudhury is near the spot where it happened.

:01:23.:01:28.

It was a momentary act of aggression which has tonight left

:01:28.:01:32.

the 29 year-old starting a jail sentence and a cyclist who is lucky

:01:32.:01:37.

to be alive. It has raised many questions about the safety of

:01:37.:01:42.

people on two wheels here in this cycling city of Bristol.

:01:42.:01:46.

The moment when cyclist Philip Mead almost lost his life. An incident

:01:46.:01:56.

of road rage that left him in hospital for two weeks.

:01:56.:02:00.

The judge said that the driver of the bus use the vehicle as a weapon

:02:01.:02:05.

when he deliberately swerved into the cyclist. Mr Mead it did not

:02:06.:02:11.

want to speak to us on camera, but the court heard that the incident

:02:11.:02:14.

started on the Stokes Croft roundabout behind me when Hill

:02:15.:02:19.

drove too close to the cyclist. Mr Mead then banged on the bus and

:02:19.:02:24.

when it eventually stopped, he lent his bike on the front of it and

:02:24.:02:29.

flicked the windscreen wiper while continuing to argue with the driver.

:02:29.:02:32.

What happened next defies truly defies belief. 29-year-old Hill had

:02:32.:02:36.

been driving buses for 10 years with an excellent character. But

:02:36.:02:42.

tonight that moment of madness has landed him in jail for 17 months.

:02:42.:02:45.

And his family left the court today in tears.

:02:45.:02:48.

The incident last year left Phillip Mead with a broken leg, wrist and

:02:48.:02:53.

thumb. Of course the roads can be a dangerous place on two wheels.

:02:53.:03:02.

This was filmed by a cyclist in Glasgow to highlight the problem.

:03:02.:03:08.

I think cycle rage is caused when people threaten cyclists by the way

:03:08.:03:12.

they drive. They make cyclists feel unsafe. If you have had a car come

:03:13.:03:17.

very close the year, you get very scared. When you get scared, you

:03:17.:03:22.

get angry. I think the way to get over it is for cyclists and drivers

:03:22.:03:28.

to get on better, to be more courteous to each other, perhaps.

:03:28.:03:31.

Bristol prides it's self on being a cycle city. Thousands use their

:03:31.:03:40.

bikes everyday, but could incidents like this make them think again?

:03:40.:03:44.

This was obviously a criminal act that went to court, but many

:03:44.:03:48.

cyclists say they have evidence of near-misses that happen every day.

:03:48.:03:52.

Let speak to Councillor John Rogers who is head of cycling policy in

:03:53.:03:58.

Bristol. This must be shocking. How safe are cyclists in Bristol?

:03:59.:04:04.

Cyclists are very safe. Incidents like this bring the whole thing

:04:04.:04:09.

into disrepute, but that was a criminal act and quite outrageous.

:04:09.:04:13.

The key message is that we have to respect one another. Make sure we

:04:13.:04:19.

give plenty of room. Cyclists must also respect pedestrians. All motor

:04:19.:04:24.

vehicles must be plenty of room. You say that about cyclists, but

:04:24.:04:28.

many motorists would say that cyclists do not behave in the same

:04:28.:04:34.

etiquette. All road users must act with respect. Certainly when you

:04:34.:04:39.

have a cyclist jumping red lights or cycling dangerously. That is

:04:39.:04:44.

equally as dangerous, actually, it is not equally as dangerous. The

:04:44.:04:50.

most dangerous is a ton of metal around year. One of the things that

:04:50.:04:54.

cyclists always say is our council is doing enough to make it a

:04:54.:04:59.

counselling City? A lot of places are just as dangerous. This

:04:59.:05:03.

roundabout certainly it is a dangerous road junction. It is the

:05:03.:05:13.

junction I came to do myself -- cycling less than with. The key is

:05:13.:05:18.

to make sure you have plenty of space both inside due to the kerb

:05:18.:05:23.

and outside to the other cars and vehicles. Thank you very much. A

:05:23.:05:29.

very quickly, Philip Mead is very well and back cycling again. This

:05:29.:05:32.

is an incident that sparked a lot of debate and you can join us on

:05:33.:05:36.

Twitter. The family of Reverend John

:05:36.:05:39.

Suddards, the vicar stabbed to death at his vicarage in Thornbury,

:05:39.:05:44.

say they are devastated at the news of his untimely and shocking death.

:05:44.:05:46.

Meanwhile, detectives are continuing to question a man on

:05:46.:05:50.

suspicion of his murder. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Steve Brodie

:05:50.:05:54.

reports. Today police were stepping up their

:05:54.:05:57.

search for the weapon used in the murder of the Reverend John

:05:57.:06:02.

Suddards. The vicar of St Mary's was found stabbed to death in the

:06:02.:06:04.

hall of his vicarage on Tuesday morning.

:06:04.:06:07.

As police continued to comb the area around the church for evidence,

:06:07.:06:09.

John Suddards family released a statement saying, "We are

:06:09.:06:15.

devastated with the news of John's untimely and shocking death."

:06:15.:06:18.

Police are continuing to question the 43-year-old man arrested on

:06:18.:06:22.

Tuesday evening, on suspicion of murder. Tomorrow morning detectives

:06:22.:06:25.

will have to apply to magistrates for a 24 hour extension if they

:06:25.:06:28.

want to continue their questioning of the man. But by Saturday they

:06:28.:06:31.

will have to either charge him or let him go.

:06:31.:06:35.

As flowers were left near the scene of the killing, the police set up a

:06:35.:06:40.

mobile office in the town to help gather information from the public.

:06:40.:06:42.

The murder of John Suddards has shocked not only the local

:06:42.:06:45.

community here in Thornbury, but also fellow clergy from his

:06:45.:06:50.

previous parish. He'd worked at St Nicholas Church in Essex, since

:06:50.:06:59.

2001, before moving to St Mary's last July.

:06:59.:07:04.

Like many in the parish, we are in shock. We never thought something

:07:04.:07:08.

like this would happen to John. When people live alone, they are

:07:08.:07:12.

very vulnerable, but it is a terrible shock and many people are

:07:12.:07:16.

in distress here. And a district councillor in

:07:16.:07:19.

Braintree spoke of how John Suddards had poured all his energy

:07:19.:07:22.

into his flock and how the vicar had travelled hundreds of miles to

:07:22.:07:25.

marry his daughter after she had decided to hold the service in

:07:25.:07:31.

Cumbria instead of Essex. Out of courtesy they went to see

:07:31.:07:35.

John to explain why they would not be marrying in the parish in which

:07:35.:07:40.

they lived. Without prompting, John got his road map out and said,

:07:40.:07:45.

would you like me to come up and officiate? I think we were

:07:45.:07:50.

surprised that he was so willing to do that in some way. Not surprised

:07:50.:07:54.

because generally he was compassionate and he cared about

:07:54.:07:59.

people, but a volunteer so readily was, I think, a measure of his

:07:59.:08:03.

character. As the flag on Thornbury Castle

:08:03.:08:07.

flew at half mast. A service dedicated to John Suddards was

:08:07.:08:10.

being planned for tomorrow evening. If the cordon around St Mary's

:08:10.:08:14.

isn't lifted it will take place elsewhere.

:08:15.:08:18.

A court's heard today that a young woman was found slumped in a shower

:08:18.:08:23.

room after breathing in toxic fumes from a newly fitted boiler. Zoe

:08:23.:08:26.

Anderson died from carbon monoxide poisoning at a house in Bath, which

:08:26.:08:29.

was owned by her father - the founder of the Future Publishing

:08:29.:08:34.

business. Andrew Hartley, a gas fitter, denies her manslaughter.

:08:34.:08:41.

Imogen Sellers was in court. Zoe Anderson has just been about to

:08:41.:08:44.

start an exciting internship in New York when she was found dead at her

:08:44.:08:49.

father's house in Sion Hill in Bath on December 28th 2010. Her

:08:49.:08:52.

boyfriend Alistair Uleg searched the house before finding her in the

:08:52.:08:56.

shower room. He had tried to resuscitate the 24 year old, but it

:08:56.:09:01.

was too late. She had been poisoned by fumes that had leaked from a

:09:01.:09:04.

newly fitted gas boiler. The court heard that a second tragedy had

:09:04.:09:07.

been narrowly avoided just days before Zoe died. A cleaner, Jackie

:09:07.:09:11.

French, who had gone to the house while Zoe was away, was taken ill

:09:11.:09:15.

and rushed to hospital. She had been cleaning the shower room where

:09:15.:09:19.

Zoe died when she began to feel dizzy and light-headed. She managed

:09:19.:09:23.

to crawl to her phone and rang for an ambulance. But the court heard

:09:23.:09:26.

how at that stage no one realised her symptoms were that of carbon

:09:26.:09:32.

monoxide poisoning. Magazine tycoon Chris Anderson told the court he

:09:32.:09:35.

had spent a pre-Christmas week with Zoe and his two other daughters in

:09:35.:09:40.

New York, where he is now based. That was the last time he'd see his

:09:40.:09:43.

daughter alive. Andrew Hartley, from Radstock, who fitted the

:09:43.:09:46.

boiler at the property on December 16 2010, denies manslaughter and

:09:46.:09:54.

contravening gas safety regulations. Tomorrow the court will hear from

Still to come: Insulating themselves from higher bills,

:10:15.:10:21.

communities in the West joined forces to reduce energy costs.

:10:21.:10:25.

And how climate change could alter the shoreline of the Severn estuary

:10:25.:10:32.

over the next 100 years. That is all to come. First, a group

:10:32.:10:36.

of squatters have moved into a million-pound mansion with his very

:10:36.:10:41.

own swimming-pool in the area of Clifton in Bristol. Some were

:10:41.:10:44.

involved in the occupied protest, but say this is not an official

:10:44.:10:51.

occupation. A setback in a leafy Bristol suburb,

:10:51.:10:55.

this 18th century mansion is quite aside. This is the main kitchen

:10:55.:11:00.

that we use. It used to be universities students

:11:00.:11:04.

cooking here. This was a halls of residence. Up until last week it

:11:04.:11:10.

was on the market for just over �2 million. Complete with its own

:11:10.:11:13.

swimming pool. We are not sure if we will fill it

:11:13.:11:19.

More than a dozen squatters have now been here for more than a week.

:11:19.:11:24.

They say they are not part of the occupier movement.

:11:24.:11:29.

What gives you the right to be here? Because it is empty and there

:11:29.:11:33.

are homeless people here so that have been sleeping on the streets.

:11:33.:11:39.

Sleeping in a doorway when it is snowing is not pleasant. Do you

:11:39.:11:46.

want to be here? Do I want to be here? I don't want to be in a

:11:46.:11:50.

mansion, but contrary to that I want to be somewhere that I can

:11:50.:11:56.

call mine. I am not just speaking to me I am speaking for many people.

:11:56.:12:00.

The house is owned by the Bank of Scotland he declined to comment as

:12:00.:12:04.

did the family of the previous owner. So, what did the neighbours

:12:04.:12:09.

think? Sum donated furniture while we were there, others went in for a

:12:09.:12:14.

cup of tea. As long as they keep themselves to themselves, it is not

:12:14.:12:20.

a problem. They have been quiet and there has been no problems. One

:12:20.:12:24.

wonders where they get their money from to live that sort of lifestyle.

:12:24.:12:29.

He are be intrigued to find out how they found out the number of the

:12:29.:12:33.

gate to get in. I notice there was electricity their last night, so

:12:33.:12:41.

where is the power coming from. is a great shame to the area.

:12:41.:12:45.

Well, we don't know who they are or what they planned to do other than

:12:45.:12:50.

to occupy somebody else's home. That criticism was echoed by the

:12:51.:12:55.

estate and letting agents I had been speaking to. None wanted to

:12:55.:12:59.

appear on camera because they were all worried that if they did, their

:12:59.:13:03.

own properties might be spotted. They are all very concerned about

:13:03.:13:08.

what is going on there. No doubt they will have sympathy with the

:13:08.:13:12.

Government's view. It wants to criminalise and find squatters

:13:12.:13:16.

because at the moment it is basically a civil offence to be

:13:16.:13:24.

dealt with through the civil courts. I am joined by the local MP,

:13:24.:13:34.
:13:34.:13:35.

Stephen Williams. Have you any The eve you are genuinely homeless

:13:35.:13:40.

then people will have sympathy but this �3 million house is not the

:13:40.:13:43.

sort of place people expect homeless people to squat so this

:13:43.:13:48.

looks more like a stunt than anything. The House of Commons has

:13:48.:13:53.

already looked at this issue and I voted along with most MPs to

:13:53.:13:57.

criminalise the occupation of other people's Dougherty and the Lords

:13:57.:14:00.

voted the same way last night so pretty soon landlords will have a

:14:00.:14:07.

legal redress. So you will be able to call the police. The s, at the

:14:07.:14:11.

moment it is a civil offence so you have to go through the rigmarole of

:14:11.:14:16.

getting a court order. As we saw on Cheltenham Road, the sort of place

:14:16.:14:19.

people are more likely to Scott, in April last year, when properties

:14:19.:14:24.

get Scotti, often antisocial behaviour can result. On the other

:14:24.:14:28.

hand, there are something like 5,000 empty properties in Bristol,

:14:28.:14:32.

sitting doing nothing and there are people without homes. Isn't there a

:14:32.:14:38.

moral case where these buildings should be put to use? Yes, there is

:14:38.:14:41.

and the Government and City Council are doing good work on that. The

:14:41.:14:45.

city council has end NT hence team who writes to people who sit on

:14:45.:14:49.

properties that have not been sold or let out for a while, of trying

:14:49.:14:53.

to encourage them to bring them back onto the market. That is the

:14:53.:14:57.

way forward. But deliberately going into someone else's property and

:14:57.:15:01.

using their electricity, occupying the property so they can't sell it

:15:01.:15:04.

to someone else is not really using the programme. A lot of these

:15:04.:15:09.

property owners, it is their assets or their pension or maybe they are

:15:09.:15:12.

just moving house. Gloucestershire Police have

:15:12.:15:17.

revealed that an officer found dead in his house -- car last November

:15:17.:15:21.

had been arrested for alleged child pornography offences. Sergeant John

:15:22.:15:26.

Skilling, seen here in 2009, was head of the schools unit and gave

:15:26.:15:31.

talks on cyber bullying in schools. He was found dead two months after

:15:31.:15:34.

being arrested in September last year. His death is not being

:15:34.:15:39.

treated as suspicious and an inquest will take place next month.

:15:39.:15:43.

This week and Points West, we are examining the rising cost of

:15:43.:15:47.

domestic fuel, the soaring charges affecting all of us but almost half

:15:47.:15:52.

a million people in our region currently living in fuel poverty.

:15:52.:15:56.

Now an increasing number of communities are choosing to start

:15:56.:15:59.

renewable energy co-operatives. They are joining together in an

:15:59.:16:05.

attempt to lower their bills. Over the last few years, the number

:16:05.:16:08.

of people installing solar panels and investing in loft insulation

:16:08.:16:13.

has gone through the roof. Now whole communities are looking to do

:16:13.:16:19.

the same en masse. To help lower everyone's for fuel bills. The

:16:19.:16:23.

community of Backwell in north Somerset is one of those. They want

:16:23.:16:27.

to reduce energy costs and improve sustainability. They were

:16:27.:16:31.

successful in their bid for what is called a local energy action fund,

:16:31.:16:35.

provided to them by the Department for Energy and Climate Change. And

:16:35.:16:38.

at Backwell's Parish Hall, they have been discussing the best ways

:16:38.:16:43.

to spend the money. We know that oil will run out at some point so

:16:43.:16:46.

we need to make plans as individuals but also as communities

:16:46.:16:51.

for the future and for our children. It is really about individual

:16:51.:16:55.

people and groups of people working together to reduce their own energy

:16:55.:16:59.

bills. And not having to accept what the energy providers are

:16:59.:17:04.

charging us. This village is one of dozens of neighbour has across the

:17:04.:17:09.

Best who are setting up community co-operatives. In fact, this whole

:17:09.:17:13.

chunk of north Somerset will benefit. Jon Gething runs Low

:17:13.:17:18.

Carbon Gordano, a group trying to tackle high fuel prices by

:17:18.:17:22.

installing solar panels using renewable biomass and improving

:17:22.:17:29.

insulation. We are not getting any renewables in our energy. There is

:17:29.:17:34.

no one building renewables. If nobody else is then be better to be

:17:34.:17:38.

to our cells. That is happening increasingly. People doing things

:17:38.:17:45.

themselves. Why should we wait? We have got the resources, skills and

:17:45.:17:49.

expertise. So it seems the high price of gas and electricity is

:17:49.:17:53.

driving people to find other Energy Solutions, which Tara both cheaper

:17:53.:18:02.

and greener. The creators of the Bristol based

:18:02.:18:05.

finance company Hargreaves Lansdown have received honorary degrees this

:18:05.:18:09.

afternoon from the University of Bristol. Peter Hargreaves was first

:18:09.:18:12.

up to accept his doctorate. He started the firm in a bedroom 30

:18:12.:18:17.

years ago with his business partner Stephen Lansdown. Last week the

:18:17.:18:21.

company announced record profits. Stephen Lansdown is the majority

:18:21.:18:23.

shareholder of Bristol City Football Club and the new owner of

:18:23.:18:30.

Bristol Rugby Club. He is a great day for us. I cannot tell you how I

:18:30.:18:35.

feel. Sort of chap and pleased and honoured, and a bit nervous. It is

:18:35.:18:39.

a great experience. I am glad someone has noticed that we have

:18:39.:18:43.

created one of Britain's most successful businesses. It is the

:18:43.:18:51.

only FTSE company based in Bristol and it started with the Duke of bus

:18:51.:18:57.

-- with two of us. Almost exactly six months ago, at

:18:57.:19:00.

Gloucester hit the headlines when rioting broke out in the Bolton

:19:00.:19:04.

area of the city. At its height, police officers were brought in to

:19:04.:19:09.

deal with the violence and more than 40 people were arrested. --

:19:09.:19:17.

Barton it. Today, though, people in Barton Street, say things are back

:19:17.:19:19.

to normal and it is a nicer place to live.

:19:19.:19:23.

In August, the rioting that had started in north London and spread

:19:23.:19:26.

across many other large English cities came to Gloucester. Windows

:19:26.:19:31.

were smashed, cars damaged and a local shop looted when rioters,

:19:31.:19:35.

many from outside the area, descended on Barton Street.

:19:35.:19:38.

Today things are very different. There is no sign here of what

:19:38.:19:43.

happened that night in August. The damage has been repaired. It is

:19:43.:19:47.

peaceful. Local people feel they have reclaimed their street. Today

:19:47.:19:51.

police officers are a constant and reassuring presence to people here,

:19:51.:19:56.

who say the community spirit is now stronger than ever. The nice to see

:19:56.:20:01.

you again. A Barton Street itself has changed dramatically over 30

:20:01.:20:07.

years. An incident by a few is not going to women are aware of life.

:20:07.:20:14.

It may have done for a day. -- is not going to win in RAF live. Life

:20:14.:20:18.

goes on as normal. More than 40 people were arrested following the

:20:18.:20:22.

violence. Half of them have been charged, mainly with violent

:20:23.:20:26.

the police, Barton Street has bounced back. Things have returned

:20:31.:20:35.

to the way they were that one night. That night was like a blip and

:20:35.:20:40.

people have rallied together, shops have opened and this is a really

:20:40.:20:43.

vibrant area and a really good place to live, work and be. So

:20:43.:20:48.

things have returned back to normal very quickly. No one here will ever

:20:48.:20:51.

forget what happened that night in August, and hope it will never

:20:51.:20:55.

happen again, but people here say the community is stronger than ever

:20:55.:21:01.

as a result of it. There is a warning tonight that

:21:01.:21:04.

three-quarters of the shoreline across the Severn Estuary could be

:21:04.:21:10.

lost in the next 100 years. The state of the Severn Estuary

The imposing Severn Estuary. Along its banks, people live, wildlife is

are concerns regarding rises in sea level and the associated flood risk

Experts here say losing it would be a disaster, so the river must be

allowed to expand. We are penned in here by flood defences that ten to

stay in the same position and and we are getting what we call coastal

best way to do that is to inform the public and practitioners alike

of what is outside on the estuary and what resources are there and

:23:12.:23:17.

what issues we need to be tackling in the next 20 or 30 years.

:23:17.:23:21.

authors of the report say it is a crucial time for the future of the

:23:21.:23:24.

Severn Estuary, a starting point for those who can come together and

:23:24.:23:29.

shape its future. As the public as well as the big organisations, to

make sure this incredible natural resource is protected for future

generations. Now we have some rather exciting

:23:38.:23:43.

news just before the weather. It is a special honour that is being paid

:23:43.:23:49.

to Aaron Chris Vacher tonight. He is receiving a lifetime achievement

:23:49.:23:56.

award from the Royal Television Society. He worked in the studios

:23:56.:24:00.

for 28 years before retiring in December, making him the longest

:24:00.:24:05.

serving anchor of any BBC regional news programme. Her pre-, we will

:24:05.:24:10.

be able to bring him some pictures -- hopefully we will be able to

:24:10.:24:18.

bring you some pictures of him receiving his award in the 10:25pm

:24:18.:24:28.
:24:28.:24:35.

news is possible. We are very proud. The mild theme continues through

:24:35.:24:38.

tonight, tomorrow and into the first part of Saturday. Then

:24:38.:24:43.

changes taking place, something a bit chilly up. We have the week

front pivoting around over parts of the British Isles. The air mass

:24:48.:24:50.

temperature gives us a good indication of how the temperatures

:24:50.:24:56.

will respond on the ground. The Blue starts to sing southwards on

:24:56.:25:03.

Saturday. A temporary blip because next week we return to mild wet

:25:03.:25:08.

Atlantic air. We are expecting a dollop a generally than today

:25:08.:25:14.

tomorrow. Little sunshine but it will be mild and we will be seeing

:25:14.:25:18.

some patchy light rain or drizzle at times. If I'd run the sequence

:25:18.:25:25.

through into tomorrow, for the time being, effectively a dry picture.

:25:25.:25:32.

Beat France -- the weather fronts are being held at bay other than

:25:32.:25:37.

this week one. The isobars are starting to tighten up by the end

:25:37.:25:42.

of Friday so on Saturday it will be a more breezy story for us all. The

:25:42.:25:46.

cloud cover has started to become more of a Beecher with each passing

:25:46.:25:52.

hour into the afternoon and evening. At times that might bring some

:25:52.:25:57.

patchy drivels in exposed parts. But a very little as we come

:25:57.:26:04.

further eastwards. Certainly a milder night. Certainly no frost by

:26:04.:26:12.

tomorrow morning. A good deal of cloud around. With that comes some

:26:12.:26:19.

patchy light rain at times. That will extend its reach at times

:26:19.:26:25.

further the East. Not much of it, though. Cloudy, mild for most of us

:26:25.:26:27.

tomorrow, just a moderate breeze and temperatures on a par with

:26:27.:26:36.

today. We may even reach 12 Celsius. I mention to changes on the way

:26:36.:26:39.

into the weekend. On Saturday, with start the day mild and noticeably

:26:39.:26:48.

breezy. Maximum temperatures probably around 11:00am or 12 noon.

:26:48.:26:55.

Some squally rain and then afterwards temperatures colder. But

:26:55.:27:05.
:27:05.:27:08.

There is a bit of a debate going on on Twitter, using the hash tag safe

:27:08.:27:14.

cycling. I will bring you a bit of it. One person says, if the idiots

:27:14.:27:17.

who ride bikes in towns had some respect for cars, accidents would

:27:17.:27:21.

not happen. Another person says, Bristol prides itself on being a

:27:21.:27:31.

safe cycle city? Not any more. Someone else says if it's cyclists
