They'll probably have a couple of community support officers
standing outside for a few hours. It's a shame that people who
thought there was a problem there didn't approach police about
it, and a shame that the police, if they had been approached,
probably wouldn't have bothered about it until a serious
incident like this occurred. I'd quite like to see pedestrians
lurking in doorways and "accidentally" stepping in front of
pavement cyclists, maybe just enough to catch the end of the
handlebar ...

Is that what you think the victim did?


You really do have a strange mind; nothing in the above suggests
any kind of thinking in that direction.

Perhaps what is needed to reduce close passes outside shop doors
are obstructions on the pavement, such as plant troughs... or free
to use bicycle pumps.


Or occasional cattle grids, arranged longitudinally in line with the
direction of pedestrian travel.


Possibly, though putting something down with no purpose other than to
trap and cause harm might be rather harsh.
