yet another pedestrian hit by a speeding cyclist
"Tony Raven" wrote in message ... Mrcheerful wrote: It is a walkway. So no comment relevant to the cyclist smashing into an elderly blind man and dog? Typical cyclist, just like you really, cannot see a thing unless he wants to. Wrong - it is a shared use cycle path. http://road.cc/content/news/27697-bl...hared-use-path And looking on Streetview at what I assume to be the location it does not look the sort of place where a cyclist could manage any speed at all. It does look like an accident waiting to happen with a narrow overgrown blind entry/exit but that does not excuse the individual leaving the scene and not offering help. Nor does it excuse the cyclist observing that the cycling conditions are less than ideal and modifying his cycling appropriately. |

Pity they have no evidence, such as videos. Of course, they are conveniently ignoring all the many pedestrians actually killed by motorists.
