Not a resident - I live between two Yorkshire villages, but I do ride
in that area from time to time, but never on the pavements, so not
really of concern to me at all.

What a ******.

What's your post-code?

Why do you insist on posting ****e about Hull on other occasions?

Simple really.

This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

I would have thought that everyone should be concerned about people who
break the law.
Woops, silly me.

Not a Hull resident, but am a cyclist and welcome any initiative by
lawful authority that clamps down on illegal activities.

I shall be cycling through Hull on next Wednesday afternoon on my way to
the Ferry terminal -- towing my trailer, on road but avoiding the busy A63.
Except on the last mile where there is a cycle track on the north side which
takes me up to roundabout leading to the entrance of the dock.
Been through Hull on this run a few times now and there are just a few roads
to avoid with heavy commercial traffic but otherwise I have always found it
OK.

I, unlike an awful lot of POB's in the Doncaster area, cycle on road at all
times, slightly left of centre in my lane on dual carriageways, There are a
few shared use pavements but they are generally unkempt, littered with
detritus, have endless junctions and pedestrians in herds -- I keep well
clear! Pavement riding is antisocial, time wasting, and hazardous both to
pedestrians and cyclists!

Unfortunately though some cyclists are under the illusion that
pavements are safer than roads. They ignore the fact that motorists
sometimes also use pavements and indeed crash across them while taking
lives in the process. Until this myth of pavement safety is exposed
some cyclists will continue to use them. Pavements actually are more
inconvenient than roads, cluttered as they are with street furniture,
pedestrians and often without dropped kerbs at numerous intersections
where the cyclist has to stop and give way.

Trust you to try to twist a sensible post from what appears to be a
normal cyclist who respects other road users.

If I was coming in from the west, I would cycle south of the Humber
through S****horpe, ride across the Humber Bridge (no toll for
cyclists) then cycle down Livingstone Road, Hessle to Sainsbury's
roundabout, then carry my bike down to the Foreshore. I'd then ride
past Makro, Mr Chu's, Albert Dock, the Marina, The Deep and then
arrive at the ferry terminal having ridden all along the side of the
estuary. Sadly though, it would not be possible with a trailer, as you
have to carry your bike up and down a few steps at various points.

So why do YOU ride on the pavement?
