I see cyclists are getting outraged because a cyclist who knowingly rode an unsafe

bike into a woman and killed her has been prosecuted for it

These people really do think the law shouldn't apply to them. Tossers.

Whilst the bloke is clearly an utter tosser, I will say that I've never used the front brake on a bike to actually brake, that's just bloody dangerous!! Front brake is to be used for pulling endos and that's it

The ghastly little shīt was lucky not to be prosecuted for manslaughter. I sincerely hope he ends up under a lorry.

Hardly the point. The law requires a front brake on the vehicle in question and he rode it knowing it didn't have one. Had it had one and had he used it, it's probable that the woman would be alive today. He might have got hurt, but who cares about him?

Yeah, but the law requires lots of things. I'm not sure anyone really cares about that anymore, or thinks it's the be all and end all.

Is it cyclists getting outraged or a cyclist?

Well it does seem to be plural, but this rather nauseating piece of special pleading is what really aroused my ire.
