What's walking pace? A heel to toe expert can apparently walk at 10 mph.

Olympic record for the 10km is 37:11 so yes, about 10mph.

Anyway, is running on the footpath not permitted? Cycling speed should be restricted to the fastest one might be able to run, so about 25mph.

Or...and just an idea, hear me out now team, we could ride on the road and go as fast as we want?

Or as fast as we're able!

Indeed. I see quite a few pavement MTBers around my way - indeed it's rare to see a MTB on the road. I feel like stopping and asking whether their mummy won't let them ride on the road yet, but then I think perhaps not.

definitely no


How about amending the petition to allow cars to use footpaths as well

Yes, because there is absolutely no significant difference in the destruction potential of a badly driven car and a badly ridden bicycle, and of course it is just as feasible for a car to be driven along a footpath as it is a bicycle to be ridden along it, given there is no difference in size between the two (ffs) .

I don't really understand this desire to try and equate two things that have completely different characteristics.
