Cycling On The Pavement

I always thought that youngsters with small wheels could legally cycle on the pavement.
It seems not …...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-31805312

It's a pity the police around here know nothing of the law, if they did they would have a field day arresting the dozens of adults on racing bikes that constantly tour the pavements of Yardley.

Kids on mountain bikes do it round here ,they expect you to move for them ,I dont but get a mouthfull of foul language of them ,wo'nt tell you what I say back.

Never mind kids on bikes old aged perishers on scooters are bad enough.

A few months back one scooter ran into me while waiting to get served at a market stall ,he said sorry only just had it yesterday , not sure of the controls ,I got some funny looks when I said, you should keep it in a quiet area till you learn how to control it.

had to laff a little at the above comments...maybe short memories ...reason i say this is how many of us rode on pavements with our bikes as kids and how many of us may in the future have to have mobility scooters...food for thought me thinks..having said that adults on racing bikes would be a tad annoying i must be lucky cant say i see that many round here.....oh and i dare say i was a pain as kid rollar skating on the pavements happy days..oh and not forgetting the home made go carts...they went on the pavement as well..
