Cyclists on Tooting Bec Common shared path

“It’s not a shared path, it’s more like a motorway”: Walkers call for bike ban and hit out at “terrifying” and “rude” cyclists ‘speeding’ through park – after rider’s £50 fine for breaking 12mph limit rescinded

“They’ve even screamed at me things like ‘F** off you c***!’” one Tooting Bec Common user complained, though others point out that the rules on speed limits in the park aren’t clear and that illegal e-bike riders pose “regular problems”
