Jail threat for dangerous cyclists

I can't see a problem with it.. I would of thought that sort of thing would of happened to you if you had killed a pedestrian anyway.. We have a long bike path along the river here choked with walkers. There are guys doing 30-40 km/h on their road bikes along it with no idea how much they could injure someone.

And it is a media article.. it is written to incence the reader no matter what side you are on  

I find the pre-determined fines and prison time to be interesting. 

While I think that biking at speeds above about 5 or 10 MPH should be done somewhere besides a walking trail or mixed pedestrian bike area, I do think that some fines should be set up to address non-cyclist hazardous activity.

My first two suggestions are as follows:

*$284 or seven day's prison if a cyclist or cyclist equipment makes contact with a non-cyclists  dog or cat poop, other bodily fluids, food or beverage products, gum or a pets leash and the non-cyclist does not immediately offer assistance to the cyclist.

*$13,610 or prison for 12 months or both, for dangerous obstruction of the common walking riding area by the non-cyclist.
