Damned Cyclists!


OK? WHEN did cyclists get permission to ride on the pavement? The lad above is outwith the law! To his left is a perfectly good road to cycle on, to the right is a perfectly good cycle path, as you will all know! The Law appears to state that cyclists MUST NOT cycle on a pavement (64 Government website), yet, and most cyclists do appear to obey the law, but many do not, cycle paths have been built for them, and roads are meant for them, NOT pavements, which many DO use! Last night, at 7.30pm, I was nearly hit by 3 cycles on the pavement, ie on a Sunday, when it was nice and quiet on the road!     


There were more cyclists later on last night who were happy to aim their bikes at me too, ON THE PAVEMENT! And it's not just young male flibbertigibbets! All ages, and both genders, no doubt cross-genders too... and I haven't even gone into cyclists ignoring crossings and traffic lights yet!

Something needs to be done, I used to visit my brother in Oxford, when he was at uni there, and it was much safer!
