Anyway, since you don't know how big the area I am describing is, you are not qualified to comment, but I do realise that perhaps you are mentally challenged and foreign to boot ('to boot' is an English idiom, meaning 'also'). It is not unreasonable to believe that you are describing the area around Cambridge Railway Station. Looking at Google Earth I can see several pedestrians with long shadows, but no cyclists on the footway (although I do not rule out that possibility). Google Earth has an excellent way of pinpointing lawbreakers with co-ordinates. If you zoom in on one or two of these footway cyclists, hover your mouse of the rider, then post the co-ordinates of the errant cyclist, we will be able to better understand the nature of the problem to which you are referring. There's a cyclist riding through Cambridge Station Car Park he 52-11'42.31"N 0-08'15.27"E. For example. |

For example. it depends upon which frame you look at, but 52.220858, 0.134245 viewed from the middle of the x road shows 6 pavement cyclists in a gaggle at the edge of the road outside the PC repair place waiting to cross and a further three pavement cyclists on either of the two arms of the x road. AFAICS those bits are not shared use. From a slightly different position in the road the PC repair place is a different shop named Hopper Ltd. So obviously the different views are completely different dates. likewise the pavement cyclist with child on the back (in a seat) at 52.220837 0.134338 (diagonally opposite side to the 6 above) The same view shows a red light jumping cyclist wearing hi-viz. Very long shadows would of course show early or late in the day and more probably early, so perhaps your shots are before the cyclists get going? |

Very long shadows would of course show early or late in the day and more probably early, so perhaps your shots are before the cyclists get going? My first point is that I thought we were talking about the area around the railway station. My second and final point is that in the location to which you refer, there are indications that several of those footways are shared use: http://goo.gl/maps/5cnYE http://goo.gl/maps/aA4Rs http://goo.gl/maps/FLJm0 (In this example, the evidence is more tenuous. Is the white line indicating a footway cycle path or some boundary between council and private land?) However, it is clear that one or two cyclists have contravened best practice, and possibly infringed a law. |

Fixed penalty notices on the day involve a 30 fine". and he had good reason to reject such an on-the-street judgement. Bearing in mind that he must have been *observed* committing this mean, nasty, selfish, offence, did the fence "need" painting? he should have had an additional exemplary fine (say, 1,000) for wasting the time, and insulting the intelligence of, the court and all involved. Bull****, these "court hearings" are part of the indoctrination and the funding for such is long established for the oppression of the common man. Accepting payment from the the oppressed in order to oppress is so obviously corrupt that one can't help but think that for those involved, their sentence to endure hell and damnation for all eternity cannot come soon enough. |
