Default Pavement motorist hits pram and hospitalises six people.

This sort of devastation would be well beyond the capability of a pavement
cyclist.

"Baby has lucky escape as car strikes pram in Belfast

A baby escaped without serious injury after its pram was struck by a car in
Belfast.

The child was in the pram outside a Chinese takeaway on Cliftonville Road at
about 19:00 BST when a car veered across the road and struck it.

The carriage on the top of the pram was thrown clear and landed some feet
away on the pavement, with the baby inside.

A woman was knocked down and trapped under the vehicle as it struck the
front of the takeaway.

Six people were taken to hospital with what were not thought to be
life-threatening injuries."

Belfast.


What, a cyclist hurtling along the footway would be incapable of causing injury?

This sort of accident would be within the capability of a pavement
cyclist.(and thay do it on purpose, not by accident)

feet

But cyclists do not have the destructive force of a car and therefore are
much less dangerous. You are wrong, no cyclist could ever have caused as
much damage as this motorist.

BTW the motorist also damaged the shop front, as seen in this photo...

And in breaking news today, 32,999,999 motorists didn't mount the
pavement.....

..... but a clear majority of cyclists out and about today did so or are
expected to do so.

Our reporter asked one pavement cyclist in Central London why he was cycling
along a footway and he said:

"Fack off, cahnt, wot the fack's it go'er do wiv yew? Moind yer ohn cahntin'
fackin' bizniz. An' anywie, it's far wurse if a car 'its yer, innit,
narmeanlike? Cantz".

Obviously one of the more intelligent London cyclists, usually they
don't stop for anything or anybody.

The definition of a crime is that it has to be committed wilfully or recklessly.

Cyclists often ride along pedestrian footways wilfully and/or recklessly,
concerned only with their own utility and with no concern for anyone else's
utility or safety.

The drivers and riders of motor vehicles do it so rarely (and so trivially
little in quantum) that it is safe to assume they neither intend nor are
reckless as to the possibility of a collision with a pedestrian.


How does that affect the amount of devastation caused?

The point is, a car on a pavement is much more dangerous than a bicycle on a
pavement, whether deliberate or not.
