Is it against the law to cycle on pavements?

Yes it is!

"Bicycles are considered vehicles under British law and is illegal to
ride a bike on a pavement which has not been designated as a cycle way.
The maximum penalty is £500, but it is often dealt with by a £50 fixed
penalty notice. However, the law is not always enforced by police."

I suggest a letter to your Counsellor, MP, local/national press, Chief
Constable would result in immediate action saving tormented souls from
repeating well worn mantras day after day!

Just one cyclist was fined for riding on the pavement in the West Midlands last year.

Shocking figures, obtained under Freedom of Information laws, show police have virtually stopped handing out fixed penalties for the offence over the last decade.

Can't be much of a "problem" then, can it?
