    It really irritates me the amount of mountain-bikers riding on pavements and it seems to be getting worse.The worse culprits seem to be the yellow jacket mob going to or coming back from their workplace.I wish the police would enforce the £500 penalty charge.

    Why have you been injured by one?

    I don't jolly well blame them riding on the pavements. I say this as I see bikers risking their life and limb on the roads, riding inches away from cars and trucks to be completely ignored by drivers. People turning left in their cars without checking the mirror first - I don't blame them - why put themselves at risk? You can say that bike riders should learn the highway code or whatever, but you can be as educated as you like and still cant pre-empt someone elses silly mistake that could cost you your life. Far more pressingly, how often do you see car/van drivers still thinking they are above the law and using their phones! now this..P*sses me off!
    The opposite of what you know...is also true
