I don't know if it's appropriate, but if he pushes him off the bike once, the judge has the option. If he kicks him repeatedly and then he's violent and perhaps a danger to the community, it's unlikely a judge is going to impose that. It's going to be vociferously opposed by the crown attorney. So actually, no, it's not. But to cut it out for that more serious situation also cuts it out for the less serious one, unless we start breaking down what a robbery charge is. That's the difficulty as I see it, because the offences are so broad.
