This is a classic case of demonstrating that cycle paths are car infrastructure. As far as this asshole was concerned, the cyclist was "in his way".

    The legal system exists to prevent vigilante justice.

    Coach driver doesn’t show up to court, so prosecuters just drop the charges because arresting someone for blowing off a court date is disproportionate and not in the public interest. Got it. 🙄

    Riding at around 25mph to keep pace with traffic,

    That.. Is fast on a bike, really fast.

    Also, this sounds (amongst a list of other things) very much like Edinburgh also has no frigging idea how bikes work

    Can everybody please look at the Netherlands when wanting to build safe transportation infrastructure? Pretty please?

    Edinburgh is by it's very nature hostile to cycling - even if every road was turned into a bike path it would still be a fucking nightmare cycling up and down all the hills, and don't get me started on the old town...
