You are as usual quite wrong. I have in the past made numerous
statements about pavement cycling and attribute it to fear on the part
of the cyclist and suggested that roads should be made safer for them
so that they no longer feel a need to use pavements, which are much
more inconvenient to cycle on than roads anyway.

This alleged "fear" is in fact arrogance and selfishness.

HTH.
