The former Top Gear presenter and keen cyclist James May has said it would be “nonsense” to impose restrictions on cyclists after a fatal collision between a pedestrian and a rider in Regent’s Park.
Hilda Griffiths, 81, died from head injuries 59 days after being struck by a cyclist who was exceeding the speed limit for cars while making a timed lap of the London park in June 2022.
This month an inquest into her death was told that Brian Fitzgerald, a director at Credit Suisse, could not be prosecuted because the speed limit did not apply to cyclists.

The charity that maintains London’s eight royal parks has asked Strava and other timekeeping apps to remove the route Fitzgerald was using.
