Promenades often have cycle lanes. Promenade means walk. 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? In every post that you make, you are getting more and more stupid. |

I don't know the place, so cannot answer that question. But as to your silly/stupid attempt at a comparison: driving motor vehicles is DEFINITELY allowed on motorways. |

You have it the wrong way round. Pedal cycles can be ridden anywhere cycling is not prohibited. Well, that's near enough, I suppose. Biy certainly not 100% accurate. 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. And now cyclists can use that promenade. shrug It did not someone stretching a rope across it and seriously injuring a cyclist. Try again, in English? You can find the thread where the incident was discussed on this newsgroup if you want to. Maybe. Will it be in English? Mind you, we were only kids. Does being a kid justify attempted murder? Again, in English, this time? PS I'm not talking about you so please leave the goalposts where they are. ....whatever that may mean. |

Mind you, we were only kids. There is 'No Cycling' writ large upon the ground. That seems conclusive. I bet you'll get some argument, though. |

Surely it is self evident. It shows the promenade you are talking about with it's clearly marked No MOTOR vehicle signs and clearly marked cycleway with bonus 'law abiding' motorists ignoring both. |
