is he a killer cyclist?

We can only hope that this poor woman survives and that it is a lesson to
all those who think it is big and clever to cycle on footpaths.

Fortunately they appear to have caught the perpetrator. If the worst happens
and this poor woman dies, hopefully he'll be charged with manslaughter - at
least.

If I saw that scrotey little neddy I'd punch his lights out. Kids do
this in East London, bomb along the pavement almost daring someone to
challenge them.

I've read the article, do you not think it is overly emotive?

Regardless of the opinions, that is an appallingly directionless
ramble - a typical "give me 1000 words now" stream of whatever
popped into his head.

Which is a bit odd. Seems to me it can't make its mind up about what it
wants.

Never mind, it is only the Daily Mail.

Not enough information to express a useful opinion on.

The Daily Wail exaggerates cycling stories. Remember the cyclist who
they claimed mowed down the little girl and rode off, or the cyclist
they claimed told youngsters to get out of the way? Then Daily
Wail's accusations were at best not proven and at worst deliberate
lies.

Can't see any mention of footpaths in the article, has it been edited
snce your post? I think the more important lesson is that it's wrong to
cycle into pedestrians and knock them over, and that goes the same
whether they're on footpaths, footways, private land or even just
walking on the carriageway.

JNugent is always telling us about the importance of the presumption of
innocence, so I don't think it would be wise to comment on the specifics
of your second paragraph. But I hope that the truth of the accident is
established and whoever is in the wrong gets what's coming to them -
and, of course, that the woman makes a full recovery.

I tend to ignore the quality of the reporting and extract the facts.

They may well do so, but they're *certainly* not the only ones (age group,
socio-economic group, etc) who do it and that is certainly not the only area
where it happens.
