Pure whataboutery. Let’s compare numbers of pedestrians KSI by cyclists versus drivers. Or look at the reasons that people don’t or won’t cycle on the road.
I don't think it is.
I still have vivid memories of Mum, very frail and leaning on her walking frame, being terrified by idiots on cycles buzzing her as she walked the footpaths of Hollingwood lake.
It is illegal and saying it's ok because cyclists don't kill people like drivers do is simply condoning the wilful breaking of the law. Why it's not policed is beyond me when a £50 FPN is available to law enforcement.
My other issue with this is the main offenders are kids who believing they are entitled to do as they wish then grow into drivers who equally think they have that entitlement.
