Cyclist who killed mother-of-two jailed for 18 months
A former courier who knocked over and killed a mother-of-two while riding an illegal Olympic-style racing bike for the 'thrill' has been locked up for 18 months.
Charlie Alliston, then 18, was travelling at 18mph on a fixed-wheel track bike with no front brakes before he crashed into 44-year-old Kim Briggs as she crossed Old Street in east London, in February last year.
