"It happened at around 7.50pm on Thursday, March 17, when the young

was walking out of a front gate.

"The cyclist, who was riding on the pavement, hit him.
"He is described as a man, dressed all in black riding a black
cycle.
"The cyclist didn't stop and was seen to ride off towards the city
centre.
"The boy was taken to hospital and suffered a broken leg.
"Sergeant Tom Richardson is appealing for the cyclist to get in

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

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.


I bow to Omniscience!

It is obvious.

Same for shop doorways.


Are you having difficulty with the word "share"? ( Whether legal or not)


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.


Another "Know all"!


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.
