I'm sure the law states that you're not allowed to cycle on the pavement. Cyclist it at fault here.

that's awful, an adult cyclist as well - we have that issue here on our housing estate however, it's a nuisance more than a danger and i think some pathways are actually signed for cyclists which i don't agree with - my brother is a real cyclist pro and he would hate to see that clip especially as he has 4 kids of his own.

I can't believe someone cycled over Eminem's kid!

What if it was a 12 year old cycling?

Cyclist here shouldn't have been there, but there could have been cycles on that footpath legally, parents shouldn't have left unsupervised either.

That was painful to watch, what happened was fucking terrible!

'Stop, look, listen' is such a basic life skill. Rolling Eyes

I blame the parents for letting their stupid child out of the house whilst not on a leash. Thumbs Down

I hope the bike wasn't damaged by the retarded child running into it. Sad

Doesn't matter. Still not allowed to cycle on the footway.

I was riding my bicycle back home from the pub on Wednesday night.

I was on the road and sitting well out into the road.

Not one but TWO kittens ran out from the footpath in front of me.

I did not run them over.

You would expect 11, 12, 13 year olds etc to be cycling up and down the road?

Yes. They sure as fuck shouldn't be cycling up and down the pavement.

I used to ride my raleigh grifter for miles when I was 10 and I'd have got a well deserved thick-ear if I'd ridden it on the pavement.

Hardly an advocate for cycling. You can put a cock on a bike, but you've still got a cock, he's just riding a bike.

The law is the law.

Saying that though, the parents have to shoulder some blame. Letting their kid just run out like that - and they live in a road with cars whizzing past. She could have easily ran into the road and been flattened by a car.

Hopefully when that kid gets on her bike with stabilisers she's kicked out onto that road instead of the pavement then.

I learned to ride on a small, quiet road and in the park. Under supervision.

I wouldn't have been "kicked out" anywhere by myself, pavement or otherwise until I had enough balance and common sense to be doing so. At around the age of 10 as I recall.

Before that, I was taken, with my bike, on foot, by my parent along the main road and onto said quiet road before I was allowed to ride it.

The cyclist came back and had a go at them apparently, why doesn't that surprise me?

I saw a slightly longer clip and the Dad is bringing a carry cot with another kid out of the door, the little girl is right in front of him then runs to get in the car. In an ideal world she wouldn't have run onto the pavement without looking but little kids tend to do stuff like that.
It was an unlucky accident as the cyclist wasn't exactly committing the crime of the century but I'd still say he's 100% to blame and the fact that he tried to have a go at them rather then apologize probably means he's a bit of a tool like that wolf guy on youtube.

I'm amazed the mother ran after the cyclist and left her kid sprawled on the pavement.

She didn't it says the kid was dragged 10 ft and she is next to the Dad when he picks the kid up.

100% cyclists fault (and I'm a cyclist) . This accident is precisely why you aren't supposed to ride on pavements. You cannot legislate for small kids and animals etc.

Phew, that was lucky. Looks like that cyclist saved that kid from running out into the road.

Yes, think I was 9 (but maybe 8) when I did cycling proficiency at school, and then we were allowed to cycle to school (which was several miles away).

All the best

Tell you what should be law - if you're an adult and not on your way to or from a gym, or in a gym, and you're wearing any form of track suit bottoms you should be neutered on sight

Same goes for baseball caps. I immediately assume any adult wearer of those stupid things is a benefits scrounger/dope dealer/thief.
If it's back to front or worse still sideways, then I assume the wearer is mentally handicapped
Only excuse is for adults baseball caps is watching motorsports on a very sunny day.
