Walking with bike - road or pavement?

[Chris Ashley]

When walking with your bike (EG: If you have a puncture) should you be
on the road or the pavement?

Cheers,

Chris

You may use the footway as the bike is legally a burden. And there's nowt
more burdensome than a bike with a p*nct*r* ;-)

A long wheelbase recumbent, with under-seat steering, whose bottom bracket
has separated itself from the frame and, having no front derailleur,
perforce has the chain trying to go /all over the place/

IANAL but AFAIK Since you are walking you are a pedestrian and fully
entitled to use the footpath. It is an offence to use a pedestrian croosing
while mounted on a bike but legal to do so pushing a bike. Got dirty looks
from female cyclist in Cambridge this morning when I wouldn't stop at a
pedestrian crossing to let her ride her bike across.

A SWB recumbent with USS, a heavy pannier, a flat tyre and a lock around
the back wheel. But someone just managed to transport mine down several miles of
farm tracks... It makes me feel only slightly better that they dropped
their kebab & chips.
