It's hard to see why the cyclist wouldn't have seen the pedestrian from some distance away and had time to brake and/or avoid the victim. That, of course, is based on an assumption that the cyclist was bothering to look where he was going. But as we all know, as part of their continuing efforts to beat their personal worst, many cyclists in motion gaze at the ground beneath their bike's front wheel and fail / refuse to recognise the possibility that there might be something / anything / anybody ahead. He hasn't come forward yet, has he? Is that because he's done nothing wrong, d'you think? |
