Pavement cyclist?

What about pavement pedestrians?

They are at risk from both cars and cycles.

Shouldn't cyclists be on the road?

Of course they should but some cyclists don't feel safe on our roads
with so many dangerous drivers about. The point being ignored by
motorists here is that pavements are not safe for cyclists because of
pavement motorists who loose control of their cars and crash through
walls, even putting people at risk inside their homes.

If these dangers to cyclists from pavement motorists were highlighted
by the authorities, instead of being ignored or covered up, there
would be far fewer cyclists inclined to use pavements.
