Having trawled through this thread, I'm surprised by how often proponents of illegally cycling on the pavement justify it by saying that car-drivers break laws too. Good to know that two wrongs do indeed make a right.


My worst experience is my twice daily walk with a three year old and a six year old under FH railway bridge (Coop side) in order to do the nursery and school run. It's noisy, sometimes extremely dusty, and very close to fast-moving traffic. The last thing I need, when leading a toddler and instructing a Year 1 child on where to walk safely, is a cyclist pedalling past me from behind at speed with no warning, but it hasn't happened once.




Oh no, it's happened six times this school term. Twunts.


N.B. Can't say I'd cycle that bit of road either; it looks lethal. But I'd get off my bike and walk it on the pavement.
