In the UK (where I think the poster is from), it's already illegal for cyclists to cycle on a pavement (sidewalk) next to a road. I think.
His experiences are with cyclists flouting the existing laws when they travel on the road.
- hermannj314 10y agoIn my city (not-UK), it is only allowed if you are moving at the speed of pedestrian traffic (a limit of 8mph). I'm guessing to allow children to ride without fear of being cited, or allow a cyclist around a difficult road condition. My point is that I do not know of anywhere that a cyclist can hop on a sidewalk at full-speed and not be violating the law.
- jeffwass 10y agoCorrect. My concern is that such a move would give further credence to cyclists that they're "above the laws of the road", which would lead to even more of the dangerous types of cyclist behaviour I mentioned above.
