As I said, it is easier to manage by riding it (at walking speed) than
walking it. Lets clarify further - dawdling walking pace. [Note: I am
not not a circus performer.]

Lowering the saddle and placing both feet on the ground and scooting
is also feasible on pavements etc but even this is not allowed and is
discriminated against.

Doug.

I agree, cyclist are discriminated against by not letting them ride on
the pavement (but they still do)

And are sometimes punished for it. BTW you forgot to use the word
'disabled' in connection with 'cyclist'. Disabled cyclists are
discriminated against because they are punished or reprimanded the
same as able-bodied cyclists.

Doug.

Why should they not be?

BTW in the oft quoted cycling heaven, The Netherlands, cycling on
railway platform is also forbidden for both able and disabled cyclists
even though some trains have special compartments for cycles to be
stowed.

Must be a common sense thing.
