anyone know this cyclist?

[Profpointy]

Why indulge in complete invention?

well many of us here have had cars driven at us, and someone of this parish was bashed off her bike and assaulted. Another person (on here or the other place) described a fellow churchgoer boasting to parishioners that he deliberately drove v close to bikes to drive them / frighten them off the road - so no, villification and targeting of cyclists in general isn't fanciful given it's Daily Mail readers were talking about.

For the avoidance of doubt this doesn't excuse stupid pavement riding that caused the accident.

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.

surely he incidently rode on the pavement as accidents dont happen anymore

That is exactly where it happened

Measuring from google maps, the distance shown on CCTV is 6m.

He crosses that in 1.2 seconds (by stop watch)

5m/s or just over 11mph!

Regardless of your opinion of pavement cycling, 11mph on a footpath is far, far too quick.

Hands up all them cyclists that have never ever cycled on a footpath!!!

 

[Accy cyclist]

the unlawful act of riding on the pavement was an accident?

Are you a complete farkwit or just putting on an act?

i meant he didn't knock the child down out of malice. Even though he wasn't legally allowed on the pavement i don't think he cycled on the pavement looking to knock someone down. Ok he was going too fast but he panicked when he saw meat head jump the wall,a natural reaction i'd say.

Looks like he was going way too fast and he didn't stop. I hope he learns from his mistakes and I hope the little girl is ok. Very unfortunate accident.

would you make the same sort of dissembling excuses for a motorist going too fast for the road conditions who injured a cyclist?

If not why not?

I haven't as an adult, I don't remember doing it as a child but I couldn't be 100% certain

A cyclist hitting a pedestrian doesn't usually have the same devastating affect as a car hitting a cyclist.

Amazing that is the first time I have done that with the Kindle and I have owned it for few years.

I viewed the vid, and it's pretty bad. He's travelling at a fair old pace. I'm not a hang 'em and flog 'em type, but I'm certainly not going to defend him.

Why are you calling the father a 'meat head'? All he did was rush to his child's aid. The child (and by extension her parents) are the victim in this incident.

you continue to dissemble - the child in the video could easily have been killed.

If a motorist, going too fast for the road conditions, collided with and injured a cyclist to the same degree as the child in the video would you still make the same dissembling excuses on his behalf.

if not why not?

because a cyclist was involved, by definition anyone else involved is a lower form of life

most won't follow the link, let's make the point explicit

A cyclist collided with three pedestrians and seriously injured an elderly woman in Wragby on Wednesday, May 20.

A cyclist riding on the footpath collided with three pedestrians, knocking over a 75-year-old woman, who suffered a broken collarbone.

The incident happened around 9.30pm in the alleyway near the GP surgery, leading to Hansards Drive.

The casualty was assisted by a young male passerby who helped her home safely.


PC Barnsley is keen to trace the cyclist, any witnesses to the incident, and also the passerby who helped.

PC Barnsley can be contacted at Horncastle Police Station via the 101 number, or he can be emailed at jonathan.barnsley@lincs.pnn.police.uk
