don't cycle on the pavement and don't go faster than you can handle
Not too bright these here cyclists, are they?
Bicycles belong in the road, and should have brakes in good working order. Thank goodness he did not hit a pedestrian. http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/ne...h_victim_dies/ |

There is nothing in the article which supports his being on the pavement as having contributed to his fatal accident. Stiil, Mrcheerful would not want to miss this chance to gloat. My thoughts are with his (Mrcheerful's) family for being persistently exposed to this sort of dysfunctional,cynical bitter stupidity. |

Thank goodness he did not hit a pedestrian. http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/ne...am_crash_victi... You forgot to read the report again! Nowhere does it say anything about him going faster than he could handle and nowhere does it say anything about the condition of his brakes. It says he lost control of his bike and went into the road, where he was hit by a Mondeo. What happens if you apply your "logic" to the speed and brakes of the Modeo? You are still as comical as ever. |

Yet again, you make the same claim, this time qualifying it as "no doubt", yet you have failed to come up with any evidence for this claim. Something being "so" in your head does not make it the truth. |

Cycling amid pedestrians and street furniture and having to deal with raised kerbs at numerous intersections is highly inconvenient compared to cycling on a normal road with its continuous surface and lack of such clutter. Also parents of small children prefer them to cycle on pavements because of the readily perceived increased safety. -- .

Something being "so" in your head does not make it the truth. Again! Due to the general inconvenience of cycling on pavements this is evidence enough. Why else would they do it? Laziness, and a miscomprehension that in doing so, they no longer need to observe other road signs or traffic lights. Cycling amid pedestrians and street furniture and having to deal with raised kerbs at numerous intersections is highly inconvenient compared to cycling on a normal road with its continuous surface and lack of such clutter. All this is just circumstantial, and your hypothesis. Needs a bit more than that to be claiming that there is "no doubt" (your words). Also parents of small children prefer them to cycle on pavements because of the readily perceived increased safety. That's an entirely different matter not relevant to this or your many other claims - none of which involve small children. |

Actually he was killed on the road, no doubt the reason he chose to use the pavement in the first place. I suspect he was in the road all the time but he is dead so there is no one to give his side of the story. Why do I think that? Well the pavement at the point he was killed is pretty well non-existent. I doubt anyone could actually cycle on it its so narrow. OTOH if he had wanted to cycle on the pavement there is a much wider one on the other side of the road he could easily have used. The picture in the originally linked article is misleading as to where the accident happened. The one in this article isn't because it shows the tributes at the place where he was hit. http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/ne...en ham_crash/ Google Streetview shows it even more clearly http://tinyurl.com/4dajkxu Tony |

My condolences to his family - if he was cycling down the hill he would have been on the wrong side of the road anyway, and from the placement of the flowers it would appear he clipped the lampost. Had he been on the right side of the road and not on the pavement then he wouldn't now be dead.... Councillors are calling for changes - if anything it looks as if that narrow section of pavement should be removed and some crossings installed to enable access to the wide safe pavement on the other side of the road. |
