I think you're only allowed to cycle two abreast on the pavement. ;-) |

Cyclists seem totally unaware of any Highway code in the New Forest on 'Wiggle' events. They ride right across the road, don't stop at junctions, seem to think that if traffic is stopped due to ponies/foals/donkeys/cows in the road, it doesn't apply to them. |

Last weekend at a busy cross roads which has traffic lights with three sequence changes we stopped behind two cars at a red light. Two cyclists came up the outside and through the lights weaving through traffic crossing in front of us to turn right. And these were cyclists in their 30s(ish). |

I did once actually see a policeman stopping a cyclist for going through a red light. |

What is even more annoying is that we have a purpose built cycle path which obviously cost money, it is separate to the road. To be fair to most of the kids riding to and from school, they usually use the path but all the 'real' cyclists in their lycra, helmets and narrow wheeled bikes ride on the road beside the path which causes cars to have to swerve round them. Stupis and apparently, because somebody asked, if theya re in an accident no account would be taken of the fact they are not using the path because it is not compulsory. :-( |

Try the old A1 between Stilton, and Alconbury round 7 pm......5 or 6 Gaggles of 20 plus Cyclists on training, I should think. |

I know I have said it before, but if bikes were a new invention they would never get approval for road use on safety issues alone. |

They've already been banned from the pavement. Not that anybody takes any notice. :-| |

There are some cyclists who "ride aggressively" because they are encouraged by certain websites to take control. If the road is narrow they ride in such a way to prevent cars overtaking because it's "too dangerous" for cyclists if they do. |
