"He said he had been cycling on the pavement because the roads were busy with school traffic, adding: ‘I didn’t know it was illegal. I usually use cycle paths or the roads."
This is a reasonable excuse for pavement cycling. If the lazy @#!s actually walked the few hundred yards to pick up their children instead of driving there the roads would be less congested and safer for law abiding cyclists! The roads surrounding the junior school near me are chock a block at 3 o clock! You can see them all trying to get as close to the gates as possible so that precious has to walk the least distance possible. No way would i cycle past,as they pull in and pull out without giving a toss for anyone not driving a car!
As for the dad in the video he doesn't look the type to accept a reasonable apology,more like the hit them first then ask questions later type. Maybe the cyclist saw him jump the wall and thought let's get out of here then do my explaining to the police and not the violent chav.

Maybe he should have thought about violent chav Dads genetically programmed to punch his lights out before knocking down the chavs offspring while commiting an unlawful act.

If the said cyclist had stopped and the father gave him a good hiding this would have pleased the Daily hate Mail readers and it would have sent out the wrong message that you can hit a cyclist when you feel like it.
Just the way he responded, his bearing and bewildered look
As I clearly stated it is not based on evidence

I think the DM has stirred it up enough as it is! Some will have read the story and thought this gives them the green light to seek revenge for the injured child. As we know there are many out there who think knocking a cyclist off his or her bike will only cause a few bruises and after all they've been asking for it! They being all cyclists and not just the odd one!

I'm really surprised that there is anyone trying to minimise this guy's guilt here, let alone the attempts to blame the victim and her family. And comparisons to what car drivers do or don't do to cyclists are irrelevent whataboutery. He hit a child. On the pavement. She could have died. There is no excuse. These things happen? Really? Well, they don't happen if someone doesn't commit the offense. So no, they don't just 'happen'. It wasn't an act of God. And if he hasn't got any specific mental disorder (and we don't know that) then he's certainly about as self-centred as you can imagine with his 'pity me' complaints about the aftermath - although there is also no excuse for anyone trying to enact 'revenge'. But he's the kind of person who gives the rest of us cyclists a bad name. If he is unable to remember the basic rules of the road and doesn't have any common sense then perhaps he might consider public transport instead.
1. No it isn't
2. even if it were there is no excuse EVER for cycling at that speed on the pavement in a residential area. Walking speed maybe, but no more
Why indulge in complete invention?
the unlawful act of riding on the pavement was an accident?
Are you a complete farkwit or just putting on an act?

He accidentally rode on the path? Utter tosh. These things only happen when f***wits are on the loose. Conscientious riders that obey the law and ride within their limits don't seem to have a problem with mowing down kiddies on the foot way.
He deliberately rode on the path, and an innocent kiddie got hurt because he behaved like a chump. S**t doesn't just happen - chumps go out of their way to make it happen.
