Londdondrz:"I think we can end this thread by agreeing that if ALL road and pavement users were a little more attentive, stuck to the rules and showed consideration for others we wouldnt have this issue."

How are pedestrians not being attentive or not sticking to the rules when cyclists ride on the pavement? This simply isn't a problem where we all need to behave better.

And IWAF: "There is no such thing as Road Tax".
I know that. I didn't mention it. What I said was that car drivers and motorcyclists pay to use the road, which they do. I said cyclists don't, and they don't. You've just responded with the standard, knee-jerk response that doesn't actually deal with the issue.

You'll be telling us next that some cyclists have household insurance that covers them on the roads.
