A jogger who was knocked down by a cyclist on a Livingston footpath has died.

Peter Craig, 49, sustained a head injury following the incident at about 09:00 on Saturday on the Loan Footpath, at its junction with Fergus Avenue.

He was taken to the Western General but later died.

Police Scotland are trying to trace the cyclist, who did not swap details with the jogger at the time.
I really hope they catch the furiousfuriousfurious

That was going to be my suggestion.

We have loads of "mixed use" pathways round here that are nothing more than normal pavements with a sign permitting cycling. I assume it is some cheap bodge to build a certain amount of cycle track to gain some funding or show how "green" they are. Seems daft to me if the pavements aren't widened as surely they are no more appropriate to cycle on than a normal pavement?
It is not daft. It is criminally insane.
Like this? The pavement is actually a cycle track at this point.
