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.
