Cyclists complain that they cant cycle on couples property
http://tinyurl.com/3x5q46d
TOTNES couple Rod and Angela Mears have been saddled with a row over a pavement that bike riders are turning into an unofficial cycle path. For years the couple have placed pots and plants outside their home at The Toll House on the busy Kingsbridge Hill to make it clear where their property ends and the public footpath begins. But now cyclists who ride on the public pavement rather than the road have started complaining that the pots narrow the pavement too much and don't give them enough room to ride past the couple's home. |

My wife once drove out of a driveway and was hit by a cyclist who was belting along on the footpath. Yes I know, six of one and half a dozen etc. Response from the scum cyclist when he got back on his bike was, "**** off" Damage to her car - a new front wing. Mr Pounder |

Mr Pounder Perhaps she should drive faster. |

It would be an expense and possibly ugly, but can't they put fixed stanchions on their boundary? |

Oddly enough, the local Council said this: "Totnes town and district councillor Judy Westacott is adamant that the pavement has never been designated as a cycle path, although cyclists are *encouraged* to use it rather than the extremely busy main road".

Seems to me like an admission of negligence (failure to maintain the highway in a safe condition for vehicular traffic) as well as an incitement to break the law. Looking at the site, there'd be plenty of room on the road for cyclists and cars going up hill if they got rid of the wide band of hatched no-mans land in the middle of the road. Tony |
