anyone know this cyclist?

What has colour got to do with this now?

Exactly.

One little white girl ridden into by a cyclist and all hell breaks loose. Meanwhile carnage and endemic lawbreaking on the roads perpetrated by drivers on a daily basis goes unnoticed. If you think that's irrelevant you're a nidiot.

I don't think it is anti cycling, it just happens that there was very good cctv of the incident, the victim was a small child and the perp did a runner.

Yes, who ever he is, he needs to be found. And put in jail, if he did that to my daughter he would be 6 foot under.

Yeah I thought it was a bit odd for the father not to crush that ****ers skull in.

Any reasonable person would look at the video and come to the conclusion that the cyclist was 100% in the wrong.

I think any reasonable person seeing the video would not jump to conclusions, but would seek out more information before apportioning blame.

What would this "more information" be? The vid shows exactly what happened.

What are the possibilities that the cyclist was not wrong. Maybe here are some possibilities;

• The girl saw the cyclist and deliberately ran into his path
• The 3 year old girl tried to top herself
• The 3 year old girl was negligent as she did not look right or left before crossing
• The pavement is actually a road or a dedicated cycleway or a shared path
• The Cyclist was belling his way clearly to alert people ahead
• The mother purposely set up the girl to walk into the cyclist knowing that he does this daily.

I am sure people here would like to consider possibilities you have in your mind. I seriously cannot think of anything else.

Again the question of reasonableness beckons. I reckon the reasonable Police are going to charge him and the reasonable court is going to convict. Do you think that it all this will be reasonable.

I just hope you and/or Arrowfoot are never responsible for investigating any accident or incident I may have the misfortune to be involved in.

Evasive or just do not know how to draw a reasonable conclusion

I think the word' accident' is what's important here.He did wrong but I'd be a hippocrit to say I've never road on a pavement,or that I don't let my kids do it now.He was wrong and probally shat himself and fled. I certainly don't want his skull crushed or the death penalty !

It's not an accident. The riders presence was deliberate.

Ooh you can't say accident as that implies nobody is at fault. Oh hang on its a cyclist so clearly not at fault, despite riding on pavement at a speed rather quick for a pavement . Least he handed himself in .

 

[Drago]

He's so at fault he should change his name to "Guilty Cyclist" by deed poll.

May I point out a few things here
A. we only have the mothers version of the "cyclist did a runner" and not the cyclist, are there always two sides to a story? we haven't got his version of the event, and if he did a runner how was she able to take the picture of him>?
B. We have the mother saying he swore at them before cycling off (True or untrue, only her version was reported)
C. watch the mothers reaction as the event happens, it's not one of rushing to her child, but directly at the cyclist.
D. watch the video to the 7 second mark, tell me what was the mothers intentions with her right arm and the item she was holding?
E. Did she indeed strike out at the cyclist knocking him off his bike (as stated he did by her) maybe that's why he swore and that's why the husband didn't intervene?
F. did the parents give the cyclist enough time to apologies (maybe he did and maybe he didn't) as they seemed to jump into the car pretty quick

Yes I understand and agree the cyclist was a complete nobber for riding on the pavement / disregard for pedestrians, I'm not disputing that, but this is such a one sided story of all cyclists are painted with the same brush.

Cheers. I don't know what that is, but I'll do it.
