Police hunt mum's killer after e-bike hit-and-run

Arrest now made.

As a (very) local, my feeling is that may be a drugs turf war of some sort.

In defence of the suv driver, he was probably angered by the fact that the ebike didn't have numberplates. He may have been implementing the reported recent suggestion in the Daily Telegraph (made by deep thinking, intellectual firebrand , Ian Duncan Smith) that certain cyclists should be driven off the road.

I made a complaint within an hour of the story being published. I have zero faith that they will amend anything.

And it wasn't an ebike, it was an electric motorbike.

I hope I'm not being a delicate snowflake, ignorant of the lessons of the school of hard knocks, department of that's how it is, university of life ... but reporting guidelines FFS!  It's another self-driving car until about half-way through:

It's the BBC. Institutionally anti-cyclist.

Did you expect any different?

I came here after reading that, could not believe it.
