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hit out at “terrifying” and “rude” cyclists ‘speeding’ through park – after rider’s £50 fine for breaking 12mph limit rescinded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”

Wandsworth Park anti-cycling barriers

“Drivers don’t have to push their cars”: Park barriers designed to stop “speeding” cyclists are forcing families onto busy road with no bike lane, cycling campaigners say

After installing the “discriminatory” barriers based purely on anecdotal evidence, with no reports of collisions between cyclists and pedestrians, the council agreed a compromise with local campaigners in January – only to ignore the issue ever since
