Fine them for pavement riding
I HAVE just watched 'Soho Blues' in which a police officer stopped a cyclist who went through a red traffic light and gave him a fixed penalty ticket for £30.
He then stopped another cyclist who was riding on the footpath cautioned him saying next time he would be given a fixed penalty that would cost him a £30 fine.
Why can't this law apply in Bristol? It would make Bristol a lot safer for pedestrians and other traffic.
I am 87-years-old and have been narrowly missed being hit by a cyclist riding on the pavement and I don't suppose I'm the only one.

There are also many cyclists riding their bikes without any lights that could cause an accident but who would be to blame?

“Just for you, I remembered something that happened while I was cycling to work this morning and have uploaded a video :-

I don't approve of cycling on the pavement, but apart from the occasional clueless idiot doing it with no consideration for others, is it really a policing priority in our city. ?”
