"Just after 1pm, a report was received that a man on a push bike had

"A woman who witnessed the incident in her car asked the cyclist to

heartless incident involving a young boy and for the offender to
knock him over and not check to see if the child was hurt is
shocking. “For the offender to then assault a member of the public
who was trying to help is completely unacceptable.

I think this more about the location rather than the mode of
transport. This is standard behaviour for 'people' from Liverpool.

Nonense.

It was typical behaviour for male cyclists in all parts of the Kingdom
(particularly, though not exclusively, towards women). In this NG, we
see many reports af male cyclists behaving insultingly, aggressively
and even violently towards females, irrespective of the transport mode
of the females, though lone females in cars (whether or not
accompanied by children) seem to feature disproportionately as the
victims.

I will agree that I would expect more of it in north Liverpool than in
the the more salubrious and civilised south end of the conurbation.
Most cities exhibit some analogous geographical variance.


Well done; no unseemly hating of groups of people just because of where
they live. Just prejudice based on mode of transport!


no, it is prejudice based on the behaviour of users of said mode of
transport.
If the majority of the users were sensible, law abiding and behaved with
normal manners and sensibilities then no-one would have any problem with
them.
