Care to elaborate?

My experience of him is that he’s a petty and nasty individual. Appreciate others may have a different experience.

Yes an absolute psycho who hopefully faced the consequences of his actions. As I’ve said I’ve no interest in engaging in this ‘but what about’ culture war that exists around cyclists. I’ve always said engaging with other road users is highly risky and this incident proves it. There are many aspects of road safety which need attention and no one aspect should receive all of that attention.

Well given that its motorists who are responsible for approx 98% of the deaths on our roads, do you not think we should start there?

This isn’t linear. There’s no start and end, there’s everybody doing better. Obviously cyclists and pedestrians are very vulnerable road users and deserve greater protection.

I walk that route almost daily.
It is packed with people, especially weekends.
Joggers, dog walkers, young and old, cyclists etc...

One of the best things to happen to the area.

Fair enough, I was there on a midweek morning.

That is a baseless platitude tbh.
Sure 'everyone' can do better. But if a cohort of road users is responsible for >95% of deaths on our roads, its reasonable and rationale to direct attention there first and foremost.

The rules of the road are there for everyone, not only drivers.
