I know, I was considering an alternative universe where cyclist crimes are reported like drivers'.
Let's face it, two blokes having a scrap in London wouldn't even make the papers. Because a cyclist is involved the case is headlines around the world (Australia, natch) and the 17 year old scraped under a car on the same day gets a tiny sub column.
This may be an unpopular take, but here goes: If there had been no
bike involved, would this ever have made national news? “Bloke
headbutts man in street after argument” would surely struggle to make
a local news website.
