THE Star headline referring to the recent correspondence on cycling on pavements was headed “Cycling Debate”.
However, there is no debate and the rules are clear.
If there isn’t a sign saying it’s a shared footpath or there’s no cycle path on it, then you can’t ride a bicycle on it.
The highway code is short and sweet on this:
Highway Code, Rules for Cyclists: 64 You MUST NOT cycle on a pavement.
Let’s end this now.
