Was this the usual thing
Was this the usual thing where she was cycling on shared use that he thought was pedestrians only?
I’m glad the police are treating it as assault, though I do wonder what else they’d think it would be…?

You’ll probably find him in the audience of the next Question Time.

Only part of this road has a
Only part of this road has a shared path (over the bridge), for the rest of it cyclists are to ride in the very busy bus lanes. Of course as with many of these schemes there is no signage to tell you what is/isnt shared space or how/when to cross between the road and path. Its the main route into Newcastle from that direction so is very busy, lots of cyclists use the (generally) wide pavements for the entire length. At Junctions the bus lanes end early to allow cars to use the lane to turn left, and at the newcastle end has the bus lane stops and leaves cyclists fighting cars trying to get into the left lane to join the motorway.
Ive ridden this road a lot but took the bus along it yesterday and it hit me how truly aweful it is for cycling , especially given its got a massive amount of students along it and it has such opportunity to have a massive amount of cycle traffic from Byker and beyond.

So Alliston tried to avoid the pedestrian who stepped out in front of him and was tarred and feathered. This guy deliberately assaults a cyclist and the msm immediately start ignoring it.
I’m so glad the media in this country isn’t biased*.

I’m not sure we can assume the guy in the picture is necessarily the culprit. I would like to see this all over the national news outlets though, as it sounds no different to the jogger who pushed the woman into a bus lane on a London bridge.

Presumably that pic is either
Presumably that pic is either from the cyclist or a good samaritan pedestrian passing by ?
You can taste the bile can’t you. Such a big brave man to knock a woman into a road.
