A Penny Farthing bike from the 1890's well before there were any cycling laws regarding brakes or lights. However most Penny Farthings were fitted with Spoon Brakes operated by a lever on the handlebars.

This story will only fuel the war between cars & pedestrians against cyclists.

Can one hope prejudice does not inflame matters? Be it within our own narratives or that of the media?

The story asks why?  The utter refusal to obey traffic laws.  Too many times you see a cycle club forming a peloton on a street open to traffic.  Then they get to a intersection and don't even bother to slow down blowing through a red light.  All this usually in a residential area and guess what that teaches the children.  So those who take it upon themselves to enforce society's norms do some street justice.  I hope no one who posts here fits that description.
