Diogenes Jul 2020 10:31pm, 20 Jul 2020 51,192 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes People making out that going to a supermarket is such a nightmare. I’ve not had a single real issue, aside from amazement at some people’s inability to follow a one-way system. I think it’s just another symptom of how ready some are to be Self-righteous and outraged at the behaviour of others.

simbil Jul 2020 1:21pm, 21 Jul 2020 8,803 posts	Quote Pin simbil [Not disagreeing in general about cyclists on pavements, but there are shades of grey that make it less than simple in some cases: "The introduction of the fixed penalty is not aimed at responsible cyclists who sometimes feel obliged to use the pavement out of fear of traffic and who show consideration to other pavement users when doing so. Chief Police Officers who are responsible for enforcement, acknowledge that many cyclists, particularly children and young people, are afraid to cycle on the road, sensitivity and careful use of police discretion is required"]
Wine Legs Jul 2020 1:43pm, 21 Jul 2020 5,377 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs [I have been cycling on the footpath near home recently, with my pair of slightly mental four year olds. They are riding two wheels now, but clearly are NOT safe enough to go on the road. I tried riding on the road next to them to school one morning, but their pace and me needing to have eyes in three places at once (one on each of them, and on the road too) meant that it was a REAL struggle. Cars hated me because our roads are too narrow to pass me, and I was s-l-o-w. The kids also wanted to ride on the road with me, and couldn't understand why they couldn't do. So (SS), where unavoidable, I've been riding on the footpath. I hate it, but what choice do I have while they're learning, and I am supervising?]
