Please explain, since when is riding your push bike with bald tyres an
offence!

I didn't say it was.

But you are 'fairly certain' it is.

Another one deliberately misunderstands plain English (or is fooled by
colwyn's snipping).

Yet you are 'fairly certain' cycling with a bald tyre is illegal.
Do you actually know what tyre tread is for?

You are lying (again).

I never said that cycling with a bald tyre is illegal (or an absolute
offence).

You are making it up. That is your usual tactic when you can't win
honestly, so you have to use it a lot, don't you?

[Here's a clue: imagine the bit you quoted in its proper context,
complete with thr rest of it which you conveninetly snipped; now... what
does "it" refer to?]

or the difference between slick or bald bicycle tyres and I don't mean
damaged to the canvass.

You're asking a question whose answer (whatever it might be) is
something about which I could not possibly care less, I'm afraid.

Is that because you are in international airspace on you goalposts?

Like driving (got that? *driving*) with a bald tyre, failing to comply
with traffic signage (including traffic lights and Keep Left signs) is
an absolute offence.

And that is also the case for cyclists: failure to comply with traffic
signage (including traffic lights and Keep Left signs) is an absolute
offence, though trying to convince a cyclist of that is hardly an easy task.

Does that include speed limit signs given speed limits do not apply to cyclists?

Don't be afraid to declare an emergency even if you don't have a pilot's licence and your goalposts are not CAA certified. ATC will vector you to the nearest suitable airfield.

Curses! Foiled again and I cannot think up a "witty" rejoinder this time
either!

Did you or did you not say:-
"I am fairly certain that like driving with a bald tyre, it is an absolute offence. For drivers *and* for cyclists.
That is a contextless statement.

You can wriggle and squirm and move the goalposts all you like.

He just needs to have the last word! He is never wrong, ever!

I know and it's rather sad. I once continued one of these pointless discussions with Nugent to see how long it would be until he gave up in frustration, it took 3 months.
