It doesn't even have to go as far as fines, the police could remind cyclists to use the road and warn them against using pavements.



Prevention means surely get off and stay off the pavement?

Education? well, if the police do their job of reminding them that is education.

Better than Cure? There is nothing difficult about the cure apply the existing laws. How many innocent pedestrians will have to come to harm, before we once more have the sensible rules of pavements enforced?

It's not imaginary departments Less .. just have some one close that works with city councils and Transport Departments in laying down cycle lanes and transport routes. Safety is always the highest priority.

Of course, a good telling off is helpful ...all you say is valid .. still feel a public information broadcast wouldn't do any harm either. Just offering alternative suggestions.
