"Car crashes into Alnwick market stalls, injuring five".

Further confirmation that nowhere is safe from these maniac motorists.
Cyclists had better watch out! Why can't motorists stay on roads where they
belong?

"Five people have been injured after a car crashed into several market
stalls in a Northumberland town.

Police said the silver Ford Cougar, driven by a woman, crashed in Alnwick
Market Place at about 16:30 BST injuring three women and two men.

Northumbria Police said they were treated at the scene and their injuries

Doug, why aren't you posting this to the horse riding NG's, as there is
no mention of horse riders being hurt.

But you say that they don't belong on roads. So aren't they just trying
to please you?

Why oh why isn't there a law against this sort of thing? Get an e-petition
going, Doug.

Oh, there is, but he wants a "preventative" law which stops people even
driving in the first place. And what of all the benefits that motoring
provides? "What benefits?" asketh Doug. Which says all you need to
know about him.

Pot calling kettle???

Why can't cyclists stay on roads where they belong, and where by law
they are mandated to be? Instead of them being on pavements risking the
health of pedestrians?
I have no problems cycling on roads, even busy ones, so why so many
bikes (with adult riders!) on the pavements? Oh yeah, and buy some
bloody lights before winter, then the motorists and everyone else,
including pedestrians, can see you properly.

Well it's not just me, look at the replies that have been sent to
threads such as this.

And my comment still stands.

The trouble with market stalls is that too often, they're in the middle of
the road.

The more civilised places (Liverpool and Leeds, for instance) stopped that
custom over a century ago and placed their retail markets inside purpose
built market halls.

The explanation for pavement cycling is very simple, self-preservation.
Those who do it consider that our roads have become much too dangerous for
them, mainly because of the massive proliferation of car use. The way to get
cyclists off pavements is to remove dangerous drivers from our roads.
Driving bans should be for life.
