Pavement cyclist loses in court
Mr Arnold, who cycles to Cambridge station daily, was caught in an operation
by special officers who said residents were angry at cyclists avoiding traffic lights by riding on pavements. The 35-year-old, who was convicted of riding a pedal cycle on a footpath after a one-hour trial at Cambridge Magistrates' Court, was one of 40 cyclists caught at the junction of Arbury Road and Milton Road on September 6 - but chose to fight his case as he said the path followed on from a shared use pavement and there was nothing to show it was illegal to cycle there. A Cambridgeshire County Council spokesman said: "Shared use footpaths are clearly marked and our advice to cyclists would be that unless the footpath is clearly signed as such they should not use it as a cycleway." Looking on google earth the pavements are awash with cyclists, it must be awful for pedestrians. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/News...t-06122012.htm |
