I even disagree with them over this. People visiting the beach should expect not to have cyclists whizzing around them. btw.

Some of us believe Bournemouth to be part of Hampshire. Dorset ends at Branksome and nothing worthwhile lies east of that. -- Roger Thorpe Standing on a golf course, dressed in PVC..... I thought Dorset was wrong when I posted it. Glad you confirmed it. |

I have just been around Romania for a week and was stunned to see the peasants on horse and carts with the drivers in a high vis jacket! Is nothing sacred? |

Well technically you were correct, since the border changed in 1970something to bring Bournemouth into Dorset. I suppose some will be used to the idea but I'm not. -- Roger Thorpe Standing on a golf course, dressed in PVC..... |

I wonder if the the same council shows the same leniency towards car drivers overstaying their car parking time limit if they don't have watches and so don't know when /they/ break the law? ;-) -- Matt B |

It has been pointed out before that this sort of statement is stupid and illogical. The facts are that speeding laws do not generally apply (IIRC there are some places where there are legally-sanctioned limits), and cyclists have no requirement for a speedometer, but the former is not due to the latter.
