Leslie, last night as I waited for a friend  outside  Dreams bedshop,  in the space of  ten minutes  5 cyclists rode  merrily through the pedestrians on the  (narrow) pavement.

It may seem obvious but when most people are going to work and coming home there  are more cyclists  using pavements than at others. These are  the times Upper Richmond Road should have SNTs issuing fines. Sadly I saw no-one doing this (7.00 pm yesterday)Seems like the Sector Inspector  may have pulled them 'off the case'?

Two of the cyclists were wearing  racing gear so appeared to be using  the  pavement as  part of their training schedule.

None of these  people (mainly, but not always, men) seem to realise what danger they put  vulnerable  pedestrians in.

Whatever is being  done simply isn't good enough. Once the summer holidays are  over I guess the illegal takeover of the pavements will be even worse. Watch out with families going to school - many parents encourage their children to ride on the pavement as the road is unsafe but of course  the parent is ALSO often riding  a bike on the pavement too.
