Describing the cyclist as a "man" is probably a little OTT.

Male, maybe. Fully-grown, maybe.

"Sergeant Tom Richardson is appealing for the cyclist to get in touch."

Male and fully-grown he might be, but a "man"?

It would take a man to own up to his disgusting behaviour.

So there's no chance.

I've always maintained "shared pavements" are dangerous.
The answer is to report all transgressions to the police and the local
authorities.
It is an improvement on just salivating!

You can be fairly certain that there are very few - if any - cycle paths
which adjoin garden gates.

Your despicable comments and casting aspersions without knowing the full
story:

"Describing the cyclist as a "man" is probably a little OTT.

Male, maybe. Fully-grown, maybe.

Male and fully-grown he might be, but a "man"?

It would take a man to own up to his disgusting behaviour.

So there's no chance. "

I doubt that Cannon Street is shared use footway, it is a tiny little
residential rd. Shared use is just a red herring. However, whether it
was shared use, a dedicated cycle path or the main road, to run into a
child heavily enough to break his leg and then run/cycle away is despicable.

My comments are far from being despicable. OTOH, the cyclist's actions -
all of them connected with the incident - certainly are despicable.

Perhaps you could say which bit of that is inaccurate.

"Without knowing the full story"?

Do you mean "without hearing the cyclist's self-pitying welter of excuses"?

The details written say everything that needs to be known, there can be
no acceptable explanation for someone injuring someone else and not
stopping. The location does not actually enter into the situation, the
cyclist is in the wrong and I hope his life is ruined by this cowardly
act.

Do you acyually think that what the cyclist did is OK? If so, then you
must live in a different world to the average civilised person.

Does that mean:

(a) that footways where the authorities have painted a so-called "cycle
lane" are dangerous, or

(b) that gratuitous "sharing" of a pure footway by a cyclist is dangerous?

Or does it mean bi=oth of those?

Be aware that the location in question has no official "shared"
footways. It has a footway for pedestrians and a carriagweway for
wheeled traffic.

See:
<http://www.lincolnshireecho.co.uk/Cyclist-breaks-little-boy-s-leg-rides-help/story-29018092-detail/story.html>

Also: <http://tinyurl.com/h8p9l5o>

See any "shared footway" signs?

The street is almost a cul-de-sac.

Did the cyclist *not* scarper, then?

Be advised: there is no mention in the report of any "shared footpath".

That's just an excuse being floated here and based on exactly nothing.

The location was a footway reserved for pedestrians. The cyclist was
just a typical scofflaw chav who cares for no-one except himself.

But it seems that there are some who "think" he was right to run away
and that if only we were able to hear his side of things, he'd come up
smelling of roses.

As someone else might say, the cyclist's wriggling has begun.

He'll probably also claim that the heavy traffic passing at speed in
that short residential cul-de-sac meant that he could not possibly cycle
in accordance with the law and/or give consideration to pedestrians and
residents. And anyway, he had shouted the customary "**** off, ****" so
the kid should never have got into his way in the first place.

And then a few of the usual suspects here will support him and blame the
child victim.
