Partially blind woman with cerebral palsy, cognitive and mobility issues, Auriol Grey, 49, gestured towards cyclist Celia Ward, 77, and told her to 'get off the f***ing pavement' as she rode her bike [allegedly] fast on a foot path.
The cyclist obeyed straight away rather than looking first, dismounting her bike or ignoring the pedestrian's request and subsequently fell off her bike and was struck and killed by a car.
The Highway Act 1835 renders it illegal to cycle on the pavement, with a fine of up to £500.
In this instance, however, officers could not determine if the pavement was a shared cycleway, because they too are unofficially retarded.
Daughter of cyclist (also unofficially retardrd) said the pedestrian commited a "deliberate act of violence".

It would be if there are signs explicitly stating shared pathway with a picture of pedestrians and cyclists as is the case on many coastal walks.
However the UK does not allow cyclists to use the footpath.
