I wonder if the cyclist was ignoring traffic laws..
> The cyclist crashed into a girl on a zebra crossing in Hackney
…lol yep
> The suspect is not believed to have been known to the child.
That said, it was probably a nutter who finally found the perfect excuse to hit someone

If only road users obeyed the laws of the road.
I hope the child the cyclist collided, when she was on a zebra crossing, with is OK.
The child did not suffer any injuries during the crash. If a child was hurt by a cyclist or other road user due to their negligence I could understand a parent lashing out in anger, but a stranger hitting someone so hard it leaves them requiring surgery sounds like the action of a lunatic.
The only good that can come from the actions of morons, is that cyclists might take a little more thought when cycling through urban areas.
I used to cycle and I found other cyclists to be infuriating. I don’t support people being assaulted but it could have been easily avoided if he’d just been more careful

What you know
> cyclist crashed into a girl on a zebra crossing in Hackney, and was assaulted by a member of the public
You don’t know anything else about the incident. The cyclist was obviously at fault but you have no idea how avoidable the accident was. Did they see the kid coming and drive strait into them? Did the kid appear from behind an obstruction and jump into the road with out looking?
Maybe hold off on the lynching until you actually have half a clue about what happened.
I’ve never understood this. When I’m out walking or running, cyclist barge into me and push into me, getting upset when I don’t leap out of the way. When I’m driving cyclists get upset when they don’t get enough room.
I’m starting to think that cyclists aren’t very happy people.
Right we’re done with dogs for today. Let’s get cyclists ! Get ‘em!
I know this zebra crossing – there are 4 all on the entrances and exits of a roundabout. If you’ve just got on the roundabout and are trying to avoid a car pulling out on you which does happen frequently, it can be hard to see/react to a person on the zebra if they have just stepped out even at slow speeds, both car and bike.
Not condoning the actions of anyone – just giving a bit more context that people may not know.
EDIT: The one in the photo is actually one from higher up on Lauriston Road, where there is a lot of time to see someone if they were crossing the road, apart from one side (If traveling down terrace road to flow into church cresent) where there is a blind corner and if someone stepped out from that side you would have little time to see or react to them.
The vast majority of cyclists ruin it for the minority that obey road rules + have lights on their bikes at night etc, but what he should have done is arrest the cyclist while waiting for the police, not punched him.

Some of you really just want to see cyclists hurt huh
The collision and assault need to be investigated as two separate cases.
If the cyclist ignored traffic laws and failed to stop, they still need to be punished. The person who punched the cyclist should get done for assault and GBH.
I’ve been cycling on and off for nearly 20 years.
I’ve also known people who have worked as bicycle curriers.
The types of cyclist involved in these kinds of accidents again and again are usually male, between the ages of 25-35, arrogant beyond measure and if they were in a car, they’d probably be speeding in a BMW.
These people consistently ruin it for other cyclists who do follow the highway code, and who are considerate of those around us.
It’s always just a fee pricks who ruin it for everyone else and make cycling just unpleasant.
People need to learn that bikes have breaks and they should use them
Cyclist didn’t deserve a punch in the face.
Child crossing the road on a zebra crossing didn’t deserve to be in a collision with a cyclist.
There.
Old person does something, sub screams how they deserve it and they should be in hell….mods sleep.
Cyclist runs a kid over…any criticism, mods turn fucking hardcore.
I honestly think that people on Reddit would vote for the death penalty if it only applied to cyclists
