| Comment | I disagree with this in a hard and fast sense.
Ideally people wouldn't be on bikes on pavements, but there are instances where I wouldn't blame anyone for riding gently on a pavement to avoid a nasty stretch of road.
On occasion riding on a pavement for a short stretch is the only way to access quiet routes, or to avoid incredibly unpleasant junctions. There are also a lot of designated shared space pavements in Glasgow which are part of the nominal cycling network.
In all instances people on bikes should ride extremely cautiously and provide pedestrians with space, if riding on the road can't be avoided. |
