Who can forget the time a cyclist ran a red light and killed sixteen people?
Fair but think about hitting and killing a cyclist who had run a stop sign or light. That doesn’t just go away. The person has to live with the trauma of killing another person potentially at no fault of their own.
ahhh going to the absurd. that’ll work. fuck. cars. fuck bikes who don’t follow the rules, too.

That's two; fourteen more to go!
The Telegraph and LBC are both right-wing propaganda mills.
Case in point:
That's pure horseshit.
I'm sure the parent whose kid or pet gets mowed down by a cyclist going full speed will appreciate that, hey at least it wasn't more people who got hurt or killed!
Entitled assholes exist behind many modes of transportation. That cars can cause significantly more damage doesn't make the others less dickish, like this guy:

(and yes, I drive AND cycle AND like to jog too, depending on what the task at- hand is).
That so many have come out screaming in the manner pretty much showcases the "rules for thee but not for me" attitude.
When did a car run a red light and kill sixteen people?
