I suspect that the fact that it’s unusual plus the guy has a illegal (to use on the road) bike and has frankly said some unwise things.

I agree, and I find it hard to have much sympathy for him, but for anyone looking for a precedent, Helen Measures blamed her victim Denisa Perinova in court, despite the fact that she was overtaking on a blind bend and made no attempt to brake or avoid the cyclists.  She wasn’t even charged with manslaughter and was acquitted by the jury of careless driving.

We read almost daily on here about another cyclist being killed by poor driving and drivers not being punished. One cyclist kills one pedestrian and the whole world looses their shit.
