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.

I don't really think it matters what the guy who mowed this guy down was riding. Whether a mtnb, roadie, or someone on their daily commute to work. Either way the guy should have stopped to offer assistance until the paramedics arrived. His mode of transportation is a side issue. Generally, whether on or off road, the person behind is responsible if you hit someone ahead of you unless there are some extenuating circumstances which would then be called Comparative Negligence/Fault. This is usually invoked when the person hit could have, and should have, done something to prevent the collision. I'm not saying this was a factor in this incident, just adding a circumstance where the person struck "could" be held partially liable for acting carelessly.
