Cyclist killed by Moped rider in bike lane

[ianrauk]

Last winter, whilst reporting a stolen moped dumped on the B2B railway path, a Deliveroo moped rider with hazard lights on casually sped past me. Orange flashing lights magically make riding mopeds on cyclepaths legal....in his mind. Mopeds are by light years, the worse offenders for barging into ASL's.

You are not wrong. They are a complete and utter menace here in London.
I use a ped/shared cycle path twice daily. It's a cut through so mopeds used it also. The council put in swerve barriers. Doesn't stop them though.

Bristol is cursed with a neverending hire escooter 'trial'. The scheme is massively abused, two per scooter, ride the wrong way in one way streets/painted cycle lanes, jump red lights, often see kids playing on them since irresponsible parents hire them. when they're finished with, they get dumped, usually on pavements, cyclepaths..... Apart from the moped on the railway path, often get them following me along cycle lanes including the mandatory ones. I like to then stop just before the ASL blocking them

I quite happily let Geddy and Bruce cock their legs up trial escooters dumped on the footway.
