On Boxing Day a 15-year-old lad was cycling home on the pavement at the
side of the A18, High Street, Dunsville."A male was also cycling behind
him. For unknown reasons the male has passed the lad on his nearside and
pushed him off his bike. He’s then carried on along his way out of sight.

Clearly we need to address the issue of why cyclists do not feel safe cycling on roads.
A law mandating motor vehicles must leave at least 1.5 metres when passing a pedal cycle would be a good start.
