Perhaps she was just riding along on the wrong side of the road
because she felt like it. or perhaps didn't know any better (as a
possible reason that does have legs).


The Highway Code suggests pedestrians should travel on the right hand
side when there are no pavements. Wrongly or rightly, some people
probably think it applies when going slowly on a bicycle or mobility
scooter.


No need for the equivocation. It's *wrongly*.

And you know it.

You also can't answer my question.


There is nothing wrong, per se, with driving or riding on the wrong
side of a carriageway when it is done for a particular legitimate
purpose and done *safely* and *lawfully*.


What law?


Apart from the Road Traffic Act 1988 (as amended), you mean?

Go on... try to show that the cyclist described by the OP was doing
either of those things.


I wrote nothing to suggest it needed defending.


Correct. You wrote as though what she was doing was considerate, safe
and lawful. It was none of those things.
