    Hear, hear. This whole thing was a disgrace from start to finish, and
    tarnished the concept of justice.

    Hopefully this will lead to clarity for cyclists regarding cycling
    illegally on footways, and also for their duty of care to the most
    vulnerable of road users (which despite all the song and dance, isn’t cyclists).

    If there’s any kind of crowdfunding to raise funds to help Auriol get back
    on her feet, I’m in.

    Celia Ward, who then fell in front of a car, in Cambridgeshire in 2020.

    Grey, of Bradbury Place, Huntingdon, was jailed for three years in 2023.

    Court of Appeal judges gave the go-ahead for her to appeal her
    conviction at a hearing in London earlier.

    The report also mentions the possibility of bail.

    This is an important case. It deals with the rights of victims
    (pedestrians on footways threatened by chav-cyclists) as opposed to
    those of perpetrators (chav-cyclists on footways).

    Miss Grey should never have been charged.

    The only person responsible for the death of the cyclist was the cyclist.
    She was riding on a pedestrian only pavement, lost control of her bike, and fell under a car.

    Those involved in the prosecution of Miss Ward should be held personally to account, forced to pay substantial damages, and jailed for the same time as
    she has been.

    To the extent that they did all of that as part of the ongoing cold war
    on behalf of chav-cyclists against pedestrians and drivers, I fully agree.
