An adult cyclist, cycling on the pavement, gets run down whilst crossing the road?
I think I like this story for all the wrong reasons.

I never understood why people don't like people on the pavement... I always wait for people, I never raced about, I didn't ever come blasting up to people (like a kid did to me the other day) and where I was living at the time it would have been suicide to go on the road... On the back streets I would go onto the road, and where I lived growing up I would too... But I appreciate many people will enjoy hearing of my knock down!

Bikes belong on the road (exceptions for small children, obviously).
Where I work, the roads are perfect for cycling (wide, not too much traffic), but the pavements are chock full of adults on their bikes, many of whom seem to think they have right of way. Gets on my nerves.

Kudos to you for not riding like a twat, but do get off and push if your pissed, please.

Living in Cambridge
I understand completely why people object to bikes being on the pavement. It's not so bad where the pavements are clearly marked for bikes being allowed on them because you realise you should watch out for cyclists, however many still whiz past way too fast and one guy shouted at me the other day for stepping towards him while he was going around me, even though he hadn't rung his bell so I had no idea he was there! However bikes on the pavement where they shouldn't be really piss me off. There are lots of streets in Cambridge too narrow for people to walk on comfortably, don't try and cycle on the pavement there!!!

P.S. Drivers do some idiotic things where cyclists are concerned too. There are very few innocent parties when it comes to this row...
