Re: Isn't It Time Cyclists re-claimed the road?

So yet again, walking home in the dark someone on a pushbike tried to push me into the gutter of a busy road, why, because he was on the pavement behind me and impatient.
When I protested it seems I was at fault, he claims it was my fault, no doubt it was my fault after all, I'm a pedestrian using the pavement, he is on a bicycle and I was in his way.
Try to explain to these people that you have right of way on a pavement, he and others just come straight back with abuse!
When is the actual law going to be applied to stop these folk creeping up behind us?

I do at times use my own pushbike but always on the actual Rd. the way it used to be when I first taught to ride one.

As the title say's, Cyclists should re-claim the Rd. NOT use the pavement just because the Police won't tell them to.
