Riding a bike in a way that causes harm to others to be treated the same as murder under new UK laws.>'Cycling where people are walking needs to be done responsibly' Said Rishi Sunak, 'And people who put the lives of other people at risk should know that the full force of the law will be used to punish the, should they cause harm to others', the PM added - 'Cycling may be good for the climate, but dangerous cyclists are a menace and this new law is long overdue.' - The law change comes after a spate of fatalities involving cyclists and pedestrians, including the death of 6 year old Hannah Dobbs in 2023, who was struck and killed by a man on a mountain bike as she walked home from school.

interesting to see how this will play out. maybe they'll bail on it when municipalities start getting sued by cyclists who were forced off the sidewalks, or maybe it'll revitalize the bike infrastructure push

>>1997238 Unfortunately it's not enough, the hope that a future punishment with keep cycletards in line is wishful thinking as they've consistently proven themselves incapable of operating their missiles with any care. Just ban the damn things with the exception of a few designated routes and save everyone the pain of living with them
