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.
Ah so now we have it, you aren't really giving us an unbiased view because you have a relative working on 'projects'.

Perhaps, (without prejudice to him/herself of course), you could ask if when cycle lanes are placed on pavements are the local by-laws or indeed any laws changed to allow cyclists legally on the pavement?

Also, if there is no cycle lane, does the law still exist denying cyclists any right to use pavements?

Rather than blame the cyclist for doing what has been allowed by neglect of duty by the Police, (both on and off the road), I would like to see pedestrians, cyclists and all other road users ensuring the safety of each other.

If the above is true then surely the rights of the pedestrian must take precedent above any rights of the cyclist?
