At last, a cyclist may get sued after killing someone!

As I said :A

If it were my kids I would say this was an unforseeable accident.

What sort of sick freak can put a price on a loved-one's life? Oh yeah, that's right; a nasty, greedy, evil capitalist yank, that's who...

How I wish the law was enforced here in the UK. I'm sick of having to dodge cyclists who think they own the pavements - I'm lucky to be agile enough to do it - the elderly aren't. It's an offence, but of course, Plod turns a blind eye. Must mean too much paperwork for a £30.00 fine.

While I agree with you about cyclists on pavements (and would add cyclists running red lights as well), what is equally frustrating is idiot pedestrians on their mobile phones blithely walking out onto the road when I'm cycling causing me to swerve (always dangerous since I can't see what's behind me), or vehicles who think it's OK to stop in the cycle box at red lights. Or people who walk in between traffic thinking that it's OK to step in front of me when I'm pelting down the road. Or cars who cut cyclists up, etc, etc.

This was in the US wasn't it??

The kids were probably the size of a London bus, no wonder somebody got killed.
