Debate over lenient treatment of cyclists raged after a rider on Melbourne's notorious Beach Rd Hell Ride who ran a red light and killed an elderly pedestrian was fined just $400.
Given the anti-cyclist sentiment that seems to crop up in Australian newspapers, the above quote seems to sum up the intent of the article.
The risks of a pedestrian crossing in front of a bus after disembarking, rather than waiting on the adjacent sidewalk, are obvious.

In the end, everyone loses in a tragedy.
