He was a road biker on a mountain bike. Therefore he was not necessarily a
mountain biker, and he certainly wasn't mountain biking. He was doing what
you approve of and encourage, Mike: riding on pavement. Do you recognize the
trouble you have created? You have made an honest person into a criminal.
You are guilty by association, a partner in crime, a henchman. You are as
guilty as he is. You amight as well have mowed down that pedestrian
yourself. Go turn yourself in. Please.

Don't forget Mike himself rode a mountain-bike, thus making him a
mountain-biker.

Hey Mikey, if you are really concerned about saving lives come read
about all the hit-and-run drivers in my blog and then tell me how to
make it stop. Andre Steed was the 2nd pedestrian killed by a bicycle
in the US this year, but we have been averaging 700 people killed on
bicycles by motor vehicles every year. Many of those were killed by
hit-and-run drivers. this incident has nothing to do with mountain
bikers on trails, this was a guy riding a mountain bike like object
(probably a BSO from Wally World) who ran into a pedestrian on a
crowded Philadelphia sidewalk. It would be like complaining about
people that drive Jeeps off road in wilderness areas because one SUV
driver killed a pedestrian on a NYC sidewalk.
