You seem to be speaking from experience . But you're right, he'll be back on a bike in 3 months (albeit with a gel saddle).

You think they'd have banned old killer from cycling and crushed his girlie bike, they would have it it were a car he killed with rather than a push bike

Isn't there a proverb "Never a giver or taker be" or something like that?

And before cyclists start slagging me off. I ride a cycle each day - I wear head gear, high vis jackets and cycles. And ride only on the road. And have front and rear brakes.

Some cyclists are a menace
Do you think he should be put in the chain gang, Arthur?

Maybe he should be made to fit new brakes on postman bikes

At least he will know what brakes are after that

Re: [Update] Cyclist convicted of "wanton and furious driving"

Quote:
Dangerous cyclists face a decade in prison if they kill pedestrians under a new criminal offence being drawn up by ministers.

Transport Minister Jesse Norman announced an urgent review into cycle safety after a series of shocking recent incidents.

Top of a list of his proposals is a new offence of death by dangerous cycling.

The new law would fill the current gap between the charges of manslaughter and less grave offences.

Cyclist numbers have spiralled in Britain over the last decade.

At the same time, so has the number of accidents involving bicycles, with two pedestrians were killed and 96 seriously injured after being hit by a bicycle in 2015 alone.

We definitely need something more up to date than a 150+ year old law intended for controlling badly driven horse drawn carriages.

Good news. I also agree the law needs bringing up to date

Yes, although I have to say that it still worked, and a prosecution was successfully brought about under this old law.

He may not have been riding a horse, but the principle was the same!

Yes, not only is the law inadequate, officialdom is also partly culpable for dereliction of duty to the public by failing to make proper provision for cycling segregation between motorised vehicles/bikes/pedestrians.

Prevention will always work better than arse-backwards 'cure'. We'll all be cyclists soon anyway

No. It's actually a quote from Hamlet.

“Neither a borrower nor a lender be. For loan oft loses both itself and friend.”
Act 1 Scene III Polonius to Laertes.

Thanks Pip, I did know that but adapted the words for the sake of context - that context being the alleged homosexual activity in prisons. Oh well, I tried.

I was merely pointing out that is not a proverb, but just advice. as it is true, it may as well be though.

Hardly dereliction of duty! This is an old country with creaking infrastructure that was put in place in a different age. Have you considered the cost of realising that dream?

The best hope we can have is that new developments should be required to aspire to this ideal and we will get there over time.
