I don't think this cyclist could be described as too scared to ride on the road - that tends to be wobbly kids and wobbly old people, not fast moving cyclists in high-vis. My kids sometimes cycle on a pavement, they are well aware what speed they should go and are so nervous that if anyone is within 100m of them they stop and wait. The school run is painful to say the least. As soon as they get confidence and speed up, they will be on the road like everyone else.
simple google search of the child name threw up world wide reports. cut ans paste a few second work.

You could well be right, equally you have no idea.
If you look at the video, the cyclist is keeping up with the red car going past on the road, so he is going way too fast to be on the pavement. On the other hand, the mother needs to realise that when she opens her door and goes out on the street with her daughter in tow, she is the person primarily responsible for the safety of that child, and so yes, she does need to look both ways, because there could be anything coming along the pavement, even things that shouldn't be there.
I'm glad the child is ok tho.

I would be willing to bet a lot of money that he was not too scared to ride on the road, he was just being a pillock.
He is now probably too scared to ride on the pavement or road now he has been 'outed'.

More than likely.

Now they're begging for more "One time a cyclist was annoying" stories:

A child is recovering after being hit by a cyclist riding on a pavement, the cyclist rode off.
Have you ever been put at risk on the road by a cyclist?

There are two approaches to take when something untoward happens;
1. Deal with it, find out how to reduce the chance if it happening again
Or
2. Find someone to blame
I never find the second approach useful. Ever.
I needed some motivation to go about working out what I need to do to stop paying the license fee, since I can do without the 5 mins a week of broadcast TV I watch. I think you just found it for me...

We had all this when that loathsome Andrea Leadsom led a campaign to imprison killer cyclists, current tally a quarter of a ped a year.

Howabout we have a Sticky "Witchhunt" thread, eh?
If someone is accused of a crime, we can publish their photo and hunt them down using The Power Of The Internet.
Even if they never get charged, or stand trial, at least we will have destroyed their reputations and careers - so some justice is guaranteed.
Who's with me?
