Perhaps they could also give one a free newspaper while they were at it. Or maybe give Judith's windscreen a wash :-) T |

Or maybe give Judith's windscreen a wash :-) I expect they stoped them for speeding - as most people do down there, then simply warned them and passed on some information. It's what I've seen happen other times. Jim. |

LN A few Saturdays ago, there was a cyclist speed trap on the hill down from Richmond to roehampton gates - I saw a good few people being stopped and spoken to. pk Do the speed limits apply to just cyclists on the road or to all cyclists in the park? I've not ridden in the park for years, but I used to fly down some of the short sections of track on my mountain bike. A couple of sections ran downhill next to the road (or they used to, it has been a while) and it was quite possible to hit 25mph off road, but pretty close to the road. Laters, Marz |
