Most definitely that conviction should be overturned.
At 77, Mrs. Ward has had plenty of time to know bicycles don’t belong on the sidewalk. Really, anyone over the age of 12 should know they’re essentially asking to be shoved into the street.

It all depends on whether it was a regular sidewalk or a ‘path’ as described in the article (2.4 meters wide) and bikes allowed.

Not my country/State where the ruling occurred but if that incident took place in my State, probably locked up for awhile with a civil suit on the docket as well.

Furthermore, she wasn’t shoved, she veered off by her own choice instead of stopping and walking her bike past the disabled person.
She made poor choices and they caught up with her.

Mrs Justice Farbey, said: "In our judgment, the prosecution case was insufficient even to be left to the jury." They don’t try to hide it.

I am of the opinion that if you ride a bicycle on a roadway, it should be licensed and insured just like a car. Otherwise, ride on the sidewalk.

Just how does one shout in parentheticals?

This should have been a civil case, not a criminal case.

The parenthetical was likely for American speakers of the King’s English.

Licensed to ride a bicycle or even just walk across the street? How about drivers just learn to be aware that the street doesn’t belong to just them?
To: Valpal1
Seemed like the cyclist was on a path where bikes were allowed (Road is very narrow hence the path) going with the flow of traffic. Grey was walking against the flow of traffic yelling and motioning to get out of the way. In dsignated bike paths adjacent to the road its the walking pedestrian that usually yields to the bicyclist (Since they are going at a fast pace).
To: RandFan
I think the writer should be executed.

I just think non-motorized bikes are more closely related to pedestrians than are cars to bikes or pedestrians. By weight alone, a bike shouldn’t be ridden on a road if a sidewalk is available. Where I live, roads are busy, sidewalks see very little foot-traffic in town.

Ooops, never mind. The article wasn’t clear. I got the impression she was driving a car.
