Woman on bicycle
There is school at the end of my street. My desk faces to the window. Some
days I notice this woman on her bicycle going down the street, usually at about the same time, so she must work at the school. Hi viz, helmet and actually riding on the road!!!!!! Across the road there is a ginnel, with constricting barriers and the legal signage prohibiting cycling. I watched her mount the footpath, struggling round the barriers and cycle down the ginnel - I once obstructed an ape on his bicycle coming towards me in this ginnel, the ape dismounted. So, is the woman just plain stupid, could not care less or does she not understand the cycling prohibited sign? As she is a cyclist it is probably all three. |

More likely someone being sensible and pragmatic. How do you know it is a legal prohibition? Many are not. When was the sign last maintained? Many have been left to deteriorate for at least 30 years. Is there a matching one at the far end? When not maintained or the path crosses a local authority boundary, often there isn't. Does anybody with authority ever come to enforce it? Perhaps you should go to your local authority or the police and demand they provide somebody. In any case, what purpose does a prohibition serve? |

More likely someone being sensible and pragmatic. She could always dismount. How do you know it is a legal prohibition? Many are not. Goggle is my friend. When was the sign last maintained? Many have been left to deteriorate for at least 30 years. The sign is very easy to read. Even the local cycling club agreed with me when I complained about the adult riders ignoring the sign. They apologised and said that they would have words with their members. Is there a matching one at the far end? When not maintained or the path crosses a local authority boundary, often there isn't. Yes there is. Does anybody with authority ever come to enforce it? Perhaps you should go to your local authority or the police and demand they provide somebody. Of course not. The police have better things to do than fine a bunch of stupid cyclists for breaking the law. They have actually told me this. In any case, what purpose does a prohibition serve? Asked like a true ****** on a bicycle. |

Some cyclists do ride like ****s, on paths, and this does scare some old people. I do very occasionally ignore such signs, but I am very careful to dismount if I see some one frail. I think Pounder's criticism of this behaviour is fair enough, including an implied criticism of myself. |

Posters with an IQ greater than their shoe size have made you look like a fool and suddenly you come up with this story. How long have you lived there? Why have we not heard about this before? If it happens so regularly you could at least get some phone footage. What is the Google maps reference? |

More likely someone being sensible and pragmatic. She could always dismount. How does that make a difference? Abiding by the law. I shall take that as a don't know. How do you know it is a legal prohibition? Many are not. Goggle is my friend. Perhaps you can share the link? Though I can't imagine how it would help. Is there a dusty scroll in a vault that tells us definitively? It is not difficult to find, but a cyclist could have problems. The default for footpaths is that it is permitted to ride a bicycle on them. To make that particular path no cycling would have required an exemption. It is not possible to know which page Goggle (sic) found for you and I doubt it shows a picture of a dusty scroll that applies to that particular path. When was the sign last maintained? Many have been left to deteriorate for at least 30 years. The sign is very easy to read. Even the local cycling club agreed with me when I complained about the adult riders ignoring the sign. They apologised and said that they would have words with their members. I asked whether it had been maintained, not whether it is easy to read. It has been maintained and is very easy to read........... why do cyclists have problems reading signs? Why should people that use a bike be expected to be any better at reading road signs than people that never use a bike? Is there a matching one at the far end? When not maintained or the path crosses a local authority boundary, often there isn't. Yes there is. Surprising. Why? Just is. Does anybody with authority ever come to enforce it?

This is a public forum. I will take your answer as a don't know. |

Where did I say it happened regularly? What is the Google maps reference? FFS! |
