A cyclist is facing jail after he ploughed into a man on a pavement at
25mph killing him.

Peter Messen, 28, hit Tesco storeman Gary Green, 41, as he loaded his
car to go on holiday to Venice with his girlfriend.

At Truro crown court yesterday Messen admitted causing bodily harm by
wanton or furious cycling in March last year. It carries a maximum two
years in jail.

At an inquest earlier this year witnesses told how Messen was riding
down a hill "like a bat out of hell" on his mountain bike. And seconds
before Messen mounted the pavement shopper Don Lowe shouted at him:
"You are going to kill someone."

Victim Gary of Stenalees, Cornwall, died from head injuries four days
later. Messen will be sentenced in November.

My prediction is "The victim had a car so he was a motorist terrorist and he
was going to Venice so he was an environmental terrorist"

Unless this is the same case, cyclist causing deaths may be more common
than the likes of Duhg admit. Someone in one of the rec.driving/cars
newsgroups mentioned recently that a friend had been killed by a
pavement cyclist. And when Duhg's mad chum Hansen claimed that he had no
knowledge of cyclists harming any person I found many references on the
web.

I have a suspicion that these incidents are under-reported or never
reported.
