You rarely see a cyclist not on the pavement in our neck of the woods ( gtr Manchester) .. I’ve never understood why tbh but it flamin irritates me

That’s why a bike has brakes.
Imo the elderly lady should not have been cycling on a footpath on a busy road…why the pedestrian sauntered off to a supermarket totally aware that the elderly lady had been run over is bizarre…
To me it was a fault on both sides but the justice was harsh…

Just get off, of the bike
dismount while walking past the Angry Lady.

This woman has now had her conviction overturned thankfully

Said at the time it didn't seem right at all

Yeah it's a tough one, the woman was as you say aggressive and nasty but cyclists aren't supposed to be on the pavement either. It's a tough call, it doesn't look like there was any section of the pavement allocated to cyclists but the poor woman was right out on the edge and cycling pretty slow


In greater Manchester where I live I’d guess its 60:40 with cyclists on the pavement !!

Absolutely infuriating and so dangerous if a child or elderly person is walking out of their gate

Yeah cyclists shouldn't be on the pavement ever really

I hope she had clean knickers on.

The only thing that caused this cyclists death was her inability to cycle. It's very harsh to say, but if you cant confidently peddle past someone waving their arms then you chouldnt be cycling.
