It might be easier to feel increased outrage on her behalf if one knew whether or not cycling is allowed on that particular promenade. I remember that the promenade from Seacombe to New Brighton (old Borough of Wallasey, Cheshire, as was) was off limits to all vehicles, including bicycles. This was mystifyingly so even though the carriageway was and presumably still is about thirty feet wide with wide footways on each side. We were never prosecuted for cycling the only route we knew from the Seacombe Ferry to New Brighton, but we felt the lash of the collective tongue of the Cheshire Constabulary on more than one occasion. Mind you, we were only kids. |

Pedal cycles can be ridden anywhere cycling is not prohibited.

And now cyclists can use that promenade. It did not someone stretching a rope across it and seriously injuring a cyclist. You can find the thread where the incident was discussed on this newsgroup if you want to. Mind you, we were only kids. Does being a kid justify attempted murder? PS I'm not talking about you so please leave the goalposts where they are. |

In this particular case they even have 'No cycling' painted across the width of the promenade. Probably the cyclist is a local and so should be fully aware of the restriction. |

Does that justify attempted murder? Can I stand on a motorway bridge and drop bricks into the windscreens of speeding motorists? |
