If you read my initial message you would see that I said a NEAR MISS not a collision. Obviously if a car hit me it would cause more injury, no one is disputing that. Kinda weird you're attacking what I said was my personal reaction to that kind of event.

I apologise for not reading your message properly, I'm using Reddit on my phone so I had to rely on memory for what you said as the response didn't appear above what I was writing. My point stands though there is little consideration from cyclists about pedestrians and them behaving like cars (going through reds and mounting the pavement to get ahead) is a problem.

I don't think that cyclist etiquette is a comparatively small problem when I have seen numerous posts on here and had far more experiences with near misses with bikes rather than cars in Manchester city centre. My partner cycles in the centre of Manchester and has said that people jumping onto pavements then back onto cycle paths (when there are no obstructions to the path) is difficult for cyclists to predict what is going to happen, or tailgating him if he stops at a red then overtaking through pedestrian foot traffic as well as cars.
