He was still on wheels and he caused serious injury to another person when all's said and done. How would you feel if this was your relative? This was not some half blind woman (and even more reason to be vigilant for a disabled highly vulnerable - and yet another reason to underpin - with force - that car parks are not race tracks for drivers/bikers/cyclists
. but a responsible adult who works at tbe local Uni . so hardly the "stupid chav type"

You could well be right, it is the Mail after all and they like to pitch stories to generate outrage where possible. The use of 'Grandmother' to describe a 52 year old woman for instance is no doubt technically correct.
Does grandmother make you think of say

or Joan Hickson as Marple at 78
Ummm .. I am gonna be a Grumpapa soon ... Ern met me wife a few years ago when she was visting the Mad Cats. I am sure he can verify she certainly would be as much "glammy Granny as a yummy mummy"

I also know of a 48 year old pal of my wife''s (fellow teacher) who became a yummy mummy to a fine baby boy just a month before her own 24 year old daughter (also in the noblest profession of teaching) gave birth to her grandson , Oh and the older woman's baby was conceived naturally.

Fact remains though. Cyclist ran into a woman . causing her to fall and hit her head awkawrdly. The photo in the paper is the result of the surgery which was required after this incident.
I am sure some cyclists will declare all pedestrians and drivers need to wear helmets.. but not cyclists
Might | remind the cyclists that they are pedestrians more often than cyclists in the same way as all drivers and bikers are.
