Pedestrians on cycle paths - what's the law?

[benb]

And this is yet another reason why shared footpath/cycle lanes are a terrible idea.

yeah, bloody pedestrians slowing down traffic, don't pay road tax nor nuffing !

Time these bl00dy cyclists had to pay cycle path tax.

 

[P.H]

If not created from an existing footway, pedestrians could be barred from using it.

I'm surprised by that. Is it just a theoretical could be, or has it ever happened?

The key, it would seem, is to stay away from dog-poo-hurling pensioners...

“What makes it worse is you get lots of young men with powerful bikes riding at speed without any conscience that older people can’t get out of the way easily.”

"powerful bikes"

On second thoughts...................where can I get one?

"You are allowed to run them over but only up to a quota of two per month."

But they are allowed to push you off and poke sticks in your wheels, which is only fair.

I have no problems sharing cycle paths with pedestrians as long as we are all considerate.
