It's illegal.

I'm not condemning you by saying this, just giving you a heads up that if you get caught (by some one who is bothered by it) you will get a fine.

Iv spoken to a number of police men about this, it depends on the circumstances. If your a possible danger to padestrians then maybe, if not probabaly not. So I would happily use the pavement if I felt I needed to, if there were padestrians about i would dismount, no padestrians then no dismount.;)

IMHO and IME the very last people you ever want to ask if you want to know about the law is plod. It's illegal, full stop*. It may depend on the circumstances if individual plod will nick you for it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's illegal whatever the circumstances.


With the usual caveats of not being a footpath, next to road , under age of criminal responsibility etc etc...

Well if i felt the need to use a path due to conditions on the road, then Id break the law ;)

In fact I told my son when he first started cycling to school, if he ever felt unsafe to use the path, and if there are people on it get off too.

Not of you were to get off and walk on said path.

If there was no one on the path I would :biggrin:

Have you got that the right way around?

Yes, if there was no one on the path, then I would cycle on it, so would be breaking the law. Thats if I felt the need to go on it in the first place.

Emanuel please explain, preferably in 200 words or less, how a plastic Jesus playing Footie is related to any religion.

Jesus , otherwise known as Jesus Christ or Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of the new testament and reveered by christians as the Son of God incarnate.

I don't know why anyone would be offended by a plastic jesus playing footy, but Adrian's question was still pretty daft. How is it related to any religion? Well, it's JESUS.

Jesus is present in the legs of Luis Suarez. Sadly, the devil is in there somewhere as well.
