BBC News: Women cyclists make up a far higher proportion of deaths involving lorries than men. Why?:
The report said that male cyclists are generally quicker getting away from a red light - or, indeed, jump red lights - and so get out of the danger area.
The story goes through a bunch of possibilities, but it's also interesting that violating traffic rules may make you safer...
