Licences and 3rd party insurance would also help.

But as we are so frequently told, a person with a bicycle is not a
cyclist, so this has nothing to do with this group, Simon should post it
to a 'pedestrian' group.

I have 'flagged' tm. the post as OT

Fully agree - they should have hi-vis jacket with their unique ID number on it and also a walking helmet for falls on ice or uneven flagstones.

If a pedestrian falls it is ,obviously, a cyclists fault. If the cyclist was wearing a helmet the pedestrian would not have fallen. If bicycles were subject to annual safety checks no pedestrians would be killed by motor vehicles. If cyclists had to obey speed limits there would be no road deaths anywhere in the world.

I have told you several times that your links describing ordinary
criminal acts have nothing to do with "cycling".

A person walking a bicycle is perhaps a bit of grey area. However, it
surely hinges on whether the attack would have taken place anyway or
whether it was because the person was pushing bicycle? This we don't know.

Then are you going to stop sending your OT posts?
