Don't ride on the footpath.

Cyclists must learn that they are road users that need to obey the rules,
not ride on footpaths to avoid the lights and then straight off into the
traffic.

Did the bus indicate left? If not I'd do him for manslaughter.

The cyclist was on the footpath when he rode into the side of a coach.
Perhaps he did not see the coach?
Coaches can be difficult to see.

Coaches can be difficult to see.

The cyclist was "was waiting on a footpath to cross Fabian Road". Just as a pedestrian would have. What would be your opinion on the accident had a pedestrian done the same manoeuvre?

If you can't see the problem here then you must be a cyclist.

Clue - where do pedestrians wait to cross the road?

If the bus driver didn't see the cyclist, he wouldn't have seen a pedestrian in the same place - ergo the bus driver is quite capable of mowing down pedestrians.

Could you show where the article says that the victim was riding on
the foot path. Was he on the footpath when the accident occurred?

coach. Perhaps he did not see the coach?
Coaches can be difficult to see.

PC Iain Turner, of Cleveland Police's collision investigation unit,
told the inquest the driver would not have seen the cyclist because of
the length of his vehicle.

PC Iain Turner should not be working at a collision investigation unit
until he has mastered the concept of a mirror.

the driver explained to the officer he was not aware of anybody and
the first thing he knew was that the coach "seemed to wobble".

He added that he then saw "something on the floor".

Strange how his mirror suddenly started working after he'd turned
across the cyclist.

I wonder if it ever, for a fleeting moment, might have crossed his
mind to use the mirror before turning, instead of after killing
someone?

since the cyclist was on the pavement, how would looking in a mirror help?

The cyclist assumed the bus was carrying on along the main road, this could have mean t he looked and it wasn't indicating.
