B**y Borris Bikes and other Cyclists in London
That was very much the point I was making. It is the moral equivalent
of using a baseball bat on shoplifters. It might be superficially satisfying but it is disproportionate and illegal. You are not allowing for the possibilty that a walking stick might be inserted in the spokes by accident. I would hope a jury might bear in mind that an elderly chap crossing the road with a walking stick cannot be expected to ensure it does not go through the wheel of a cyclist ignoring the pedestrian crossing, red lights, one-way road etc. And given the averaae age of jurors these days I would also hope that some would understand the difficulties. They might also share the view that a cyclist riding at speed through red lights at a pedestrian is morally more akin to an armed robber than a shoplifter. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |
