@jessta@aus.social @Steveb@mastodon.ie which is why all investigations and considerations need to be proportionate. Factor in the use of (legal and illegal) heavier e-bikes, of lack of training of cyclists, of blatant disregard of traffic laws by many road-users, and you need proper research and proportionate consequences.

@UkeleleEric@mstdn.social @Steveb@mastodon.ie but we already know it won't be proportionate because we don't charge motorists with manslaughter unless they are breaking a traffic law when they recklessly hit someone with their car. A cyclists breaking traffic laws is less reckless than a motorist obeying them.
