Default Another OAP mown down by a pavement cyclist that did not stop

a pensioner was knocked off a footpath by a cyclist riding behind her.

The incident occured on Kingsmill Road when an elderly woman was knocked off
the pavement by an adult cyclist who had been riding close behind her.

The cyclist did not stop to apologise.

They should not be regarded as innocent if they kill or injure
someone with their cycle. Just because lots of them are allowed
to do it on our pavements every year is no excuse and vulnerable victim
blaming is being used to excuse them and pretending there are
blameless 'accidents'. Whenever they decide to get behind the handlebars
of a bicycle they should be made to accept full responsibility and
blame for their crashes. Its not other people's crashes it is
theirs.

Badly ridden push bikes are a constant threat to pedestrians. This is an
example of such bad riding, particularly as the ran away which makes it
even worse. Pedestrians need to be
reminded constantly of the potentially lethal threat from cyclists ,
which is rarely punished adequately.
