re: cycling on the pavement
Well if it’s not a designated footpath then surely it’s a pavement? And fair enough more pedestrians may be killed on the pavements by cars than bikes every year, but bikes don’t need to be there either, and aren’t cyclists themselves more likely to have an accident when riding on the pavement than riding on the road.?
although I’m sure you won’t actually have too much to worry about because it’ll probably be one of those quickly forgotten soundbite dropped by a local pol as a bit of kee-jerk populism
