It is time there was a real effort by the police to clamp down on cyclists on
footpaths - with a large fine.

Not ours.
They are too busy nicking bicyclists without helmets.
Now how does a bicyclist wearing a helmet save a knocked down OAP?

There is the issue of instilling a respect for law and the rioghts of
others - even if only a grudging one - in the lawless.

Confiscate the bike. That is what they do to uninsured cars and trail
bikes.

I have long advocated the immediate seizure of the bikes of such
law-breaking cyclists, principally on the basis that because cyclists
cannot be banned from cycling, there is no properly effective sanction
that can be applied except for seizure and *destruction*.

Absolutely - this seems to be the only workable solution.
