Cycles on paths - it’s against the law

Almost run over again - by a cycle on a footpath.

Following on from my previous cycle-related rant I ask the question - why do a small minority of cyclists break the law and tarnish the good name of cycling?

I refer such cyclists in the UK to Highway Code rule 64.

BMW’s fabric car

I don’t have a car, but I’ve always been fascinated by cars.

I don’t need a car where I am in London, with its comprehensive public transport infrastructure, and I find cars a pain clogging up the streets and obstructing me getting from A to B.

But I still find cars fascinating.

BMW has always been a company I’ve admired for their design and engineering skills, and their GINA concept car is fascinating.

Red light for cyclists

I saw it again last night - a cyclist going through a red light.

I’ve almost been run down twice by cyclists going through red traffic lights.

I’ve cycled myself in the past - but it never crossed my mind to jump lights.

Cyclists are not exempt from the UK Highway Code and the legal aspect is clarified on the Department for Transport’s site.
