When Did Cycling On The Pavement Become A Thing? (25 replies)

Getting dangerous to be a pedestrian these days, with all the cyclists taking to the pavement, 8 of them passed me on the pavement today on the way to and back from the shops. Not young kids, but fully grown adults.

Seems to be if you have a bike with straight handlebars they think they're entitled to ride on the pavement. It's not bad enough to come shooting up from behind you and give you a fright, going past at full speed, whilst you are minding your own business. But one selfish and dangerous so&so decided he had right of way on a narrow part of a railway bridge and made me step on the road to let him past, no way was he going to wait at the end of the bridge or get off his bike for me.

Time to take a broom with me and accidentally let the handle go into the spokes if it was happen again, I think.
