At the time, police said that it was lawful for the cyclists to use the tarred road rather than the path, which was not a designated bicycle lane but a shared path for walkers and cyclists. Mr Ward told the court Harris was unable to go around the cyclists and made a "very poor decision" to travel along the shared path. "He will now always be known as the guy who uploaded the video of the cyclists at Jamberoo," Mr Ward said. Mr Ward said Harris did not know the person behind the online fundraiser, which eventually raised just over A$4000. "He's made a very poor error of judgment," Mr Ward said.
