Why do some cyclists think that they are exempt from the rules of the highway code? Should they be treated differently because the bike doesn't have an engine?

| 15-5-2008 | I often go out riding with my family down the local canal. To get there we need to cross town. There's no way on earth I would take my 9 and 11 year old on the main roads. The thought of it is ludicrous. The roads are so busy and there's so many idiots in cars. I cycle quite a lot and I'...more | Grant |
| 05-5-2008 | I had to laugh at Carol's comment, I was walking my German shepherd which is an enormous but extremely friendly dog, when this lycra lout came hurtling down the pavement causing Roger (yes that's his name) to jump out while barking very loudly, the cyclist came crashing to the ground, and he...more | Nick |

| 19-10-2007 | I even asked a police officer, out of curiosity really, about the law re: cycling on pavements. He replied that it was definitely illegal but "it's a question of priorities" - so nothing is going to be done unless pedestrians do something themselves. (I am a cyclist too, so it's no...more | walker |
| 03-10-2007 | Scarborough Town Centre is considered such a place - as there are so many bicycles being on ridden pavements by the local chav adults, who believe that they the God-given right of way !
Perhaps a high lead content in the local water supply, would explain many things | Shocked |

| 29-7-2007 | recently heard that riding a bicycle on the pedestrian pavement is liable to a fine of upto £400 and certainly I remember being fined 2/6d(13p) for doing just that-I do note that many times I've seen pavement cyclist knocking grocery bags from a shopper emerging from a store and believe tha...more | iluv2pt |
