Cycling on a pavement without a cycle lane is not strictly legal....

Agreed and I'll be the first one to stick a big stick through their front wheel

No because if they worked then logically they would be able to afford a vehicle

Perhaps they're cycling to work to save up for a car, to clog the roads up even more.

How irritating would you find that if all the cyclists you see convert to driving a car, then how long would your commute take?

I cycle to work to get some form of exercise, I suppose you're gonna tell me I need to get an exercise bike and do it at home lol

I'm fortunate to have half decent cycle paths on most of the route though, and I use one section of wide pavement on a major road if heading in when it's uber busy (note to self, watch out for Maviczap and his stick!)

So you're part of the problem, get in your car or on your bike.

Exercise is bad for you & it holds up law abiding car drivers

It's just the one, so not much longer. Just a cars length I guess

Wait what if I just ran him over? Wouldn't that solve the problem for a few weeks at least?
