Lots of great comments about why everyone hates cyclists on the pavement, but no real suggestions as to what can be done about them. In my previous post, I wasn't trying to suggest that I approved of cycling on the pavement, I don't - although I'm not sure 3 year olds should be forced to cycle on the road. My query as to whether there was a place where it was a particular problem was aimed at arranging for some action to be taken at that location - perhaps by the Safer Neighbourhood Team. It's much easier to get the Police to deal with specific problems[/i] than general ones.
As suggested, those who cycle on the pavement are probably mostly those with a blatant disregard for authority. Perhaps pedestrians should carry walking sticks to push through spokes? Nothing like a bit of direct action!
