Yet more evidence of a lack of pavement safety.

Some cyclists believe it is safer to ride on pavements, than it is to
swim with the sharks on roads, but clearly this is not necessarily the
case. Also a motorist can demolish a bus shelter in an instant, which
for a cyclist is impossible.

"A woman has been held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous
driving after a mother died following a crash where a car hit a bus
stop.

Catriona Scott, 44, from Caversham, was waiting in Briants Avenue,
Caversham, along with her 12-year-old son when the Toyota Rav 4 hit
the shelter on Monday.

She was taken to hospital but died on Tuesday. Her son is "recovering
well" in a specialist unit, police said.

A 34-year-old local woman was arrested on Thursday and released on
bail.

Police said they were keen to trace a potential witness who was
described as "a white lady with white hair, wearing a blue coat with a
motif on the chest"..."

Old news! Keep up. This happened some days ago.

Anyway, you don't seem to be maling any sort of point here (as ever).
You now seem to be saying that cyclingon the pavement is dangerous
because of all those cars careering into bus shelters (which, BTW,
they are not doing as a rule).

Safer for who, the cyclist or the pedestrians who have every right to
use the pavements?

than it is to

Well yes, that is obvious (almost), but how many motorists demolish a
bus shelter, but I do recall a bus doing it.

So she is not being 'held' now.

A driving licence is not a licence to kill, never has been.


But the thing is, you seem to be complaining about illegal cycling on
the pavement not being hit by a car colliding with a bus shelter.

I thought he was talking (or trying to, at least) about sharks in the streets.

I don't know what he's on, but he ought to cut down on it.

'fly with the alligators' surely?

You're right, Doug, there ought to be a law against it.

"A woman has been held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous
driving after a mother died following a crash where a car hit a bus
stop.

Oh, there is already! There's a surprise.

Since its illegal to cycle on the pavement, any cyclist injured whilst
doing so gets what they deserve.

Are you trying to impose time limits, by way of an evasion, instead of
addressing the issues?

And what "issue" is this. which I am meant to address? If it's the
issue of if you illegally cycle on the pavement then there is an
extremely remote chance that you may get hit by a car which has for
some reason gone there, then it's not really an issue that takes any
kind of priority, apart from dealing with the isolated incident
appropriately.

Doug gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

There's only one person "evading", Duhg.

I've explicitly, absolutely and outright condemned anybody who uses a
road vehicle on the pavement. I've invited you to do so, too.

You haven't. Will you do so now?

Get in line, he's still trying to work out where I said I admired the
driver who drove through CM.
