Is this a cycle or footpath?

Nobody "supports" pavement cycling. Some of us just don't think it is something to get worked up about. In other (more honest and less weaselly) words, "some of" you don't think - and refuse to accept - that there is anything wrong with it. To the extent that such a stance is distinct from supporting it, the distinction is purely semantic. You are projecting. Not in the slightest. I have no difficulty in expressing clearly those things I condemn, irrespective of road-user class. It is you and Jester who cannot bring yourself to blame cyclists for cycling on the footway. "...blame cyclists for cycling on the footway". Huh? Have you heard the word "gammon" used in current parlance? We rarely buy it. It's usually too salty. Your pretend ignorance isn't convincing. But you don't say it, which tells its own tale. As the lawyers have it: silence gives consent. It's not a binary issue. It's a plain breach of the law designed to protect all of us when we are pedestrians, which is most of the time. Rubbish. The official figures show that most people go by car if their journey is further than the fridge. That's gibberish. This might help - http://www.whoohoo.co.uk/scouse-translator.asp It may be a technical breach of the law but I am giving you my opinion that it is nothing to get worked up about. TRANSLATION: It is not a big deal. "The danger and inconvenience caused to third parties is completely acceptable when I and other cyclists ride our bikes along the pavement or in other pedestrian-only areas. The only issue is whether I gain utility from it, and I do". You accuse me of riding along pavements with not a shred of evidence. Do you know what libel is? Libel to point out that you defend an illegal, dangerous and anti-social practice as "no big deal"? No. I definitely remember writing "it's no big deal". Do yourself a favour and read the sentence I wrote immediately before the one that asks "Do you know what libel is?" And then your utterence immediately above that. It's not complicated. |
