Actually cyclists in the UK *are* allowed to split lanes and ride anywhere in the road. They are also not technically subject to speed limits. However, they must stop at red lighs and zebra crossings. However many crossroads are being adapted to allow cyclists through on the pedestrian crossing cycle if it is safe to do so.

Can I just correct you there? He had *no* brakes at all. Pedal resistance is not adequate (I know this form riding a fixie on a track - if you tried to brake you would snap your ankles). Anyway, he was a complete bellend and it was the fact he wasn't wearing a helmet either, that killed the woman (their heads collided, if he had been wearing a helmet she would also have been protected to a certain extent).
