Don't generalise Brian. You fuel hatred of law-abiding cyclists by using that kind of language. For every 108 people killed on pavements, 107 are killed by motor vehicles. Cyclists don't pollute; & combat obesity. There are bad ones and there are bad drivers too.

"A 17-year-old friend who was walking with Rhiannon, told the court Mr Howard shouted "move because I'm not stopping"." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2263354/Cyclist-knocked-down-and-killed-teenage-girl-court-hears.html … Personally I wouldn't stop near a gang of kids on a £3k bike.

He admitted he didn’t need to stop. He could have avoided the pedestrians. That’s why he was convicted. But I don’t need to say more because reasonable people will come to their own conclusions.
