But knowing how the police kowtow to the cyclists, I'm surprised they didn't arrest the dead man and give the cyclist compensation for his trauma!
Hooray!

Re: Hooray!
ahh just found your story now, seems this lad has been knocked of his bike in the past and thats why he was riding on the path
Re: Hooray!
nope it does not brian, but if car drivers took more care people like him would not need to ride on the pavement, i still find it strange that people get up all in arms when one person is killed on a pavement but never say a word about the 1000s of cyclists killed on the roads
Re: Hooray!
I'm a keen cyclist who rides on the road.
I cycle around 12-14 mph annoying to drivers i know but if i have to obey the law and ride on the road, then car owners should respect this and give me proper use of the road.
On several occassions i have been beeped at and told to get of the road, not always so politely put.

Now you are Daddy you must take care of yourself Wizzy.
I much calmer now about cyclists riding on pavements since I started spreading carpet tacks in path.
I shout at cyclists if you want to ride quickly why you not have a bell like you should have.
HAVE YOU GOT A BELL WIZZY ?

Re: Hooray!
Several times in my local shopping preinct, the security staff have had to escort from the premises cycliosts who insist on barging in despite a clear notice at the netrance.
This is nothing to do with road safety - there are no great lorries in there. Those cycists are jsut cocky and arrogant.
Nobody behaves more badly - or more dumbly on the roads - than cyclists.
