Default Grantham girl, 4, gets cycling-on-path police warning

You are only telling part of the story. Going by the guidance put forward
by the two ministers, it seems clear that the intention of parliament was
to give the police powers to deal with cyclists who cycle on the
pavement in a way which poses a danger or annoyance to pedestrians.

Paul Boateng specifically said that the law was not aimed at 'responsible
cyclists who sometimes feel obliged to use the pavement out of fear of
the traffic, and who show consideration to other pavement users', and
Robert Goodwill reiterated that guidance.



I have already pointed out that what Boateng said was not "guidance"
whatsoever.

It has no legal basis whatsoever.

If Parliament had wanted to permit one class of cyclists to use the pavements
then they would have made it clear in the law.

They didn't.

It is illegal for anyone to cycle on the pavements.

Hope this helps.

Not on shared pathways, where, miraculously, there are no problems.
You're one of the drama queens in this ng.

And how many people are killed or seriously injured by vehicles on the

You've found *one* instance. Not exactly carnage on shared pathways, is it.

You stated 'there are no problems' I point out that you are wrong,
conflicts and crashes between cyclists and pedestrians on shared use
paths are common, some have even ended in fatalities, usually the
pedestrian.

Are you claiming that parliament has not made it clear that a person under 10 is not committing a criminal offence by cycling on the pavement?
