Lincolnshire Police - wrong or right about pavement bicycle indecent ? 12.03.15
(link to story and link to the best ever bicycle race)



she may well be stubborn
in the making is a new "Madonna"
highlighted must be her trace in "foot print" carbon
the pavement ridding brigade we all must honor.
don't have sympathy
we don't live in a "health and safety" culture
if we loose a few children switch off "empathy"
you no that to this planet they will only vulture.
no controversy or any mutes
don't think of the young as scum
so what if they refer to each other as "ywtes"
or if there trousers are down showing crack of bum.
as for the bike commuters
my support will not blame
jumping red lights will have loads of contributors
pavement jumping will cause no red flame.
you need a crack down
i have a perfect song that is green
i introduce the only man to ware a "crown"
supported by the best ever band "Queen".
on this news i hope it humiliate
it is a utter disgrace
i will end with the best ever communicate
on the link below is one great "Bicycle Race".

( not sure if you have seen this story on the news but it really did wind me up as i do not object to any minor ridding on the pavement as there safety must come first. i am trying to sarcastically have a dig at the grown adult commuters who ride very fast and who i have seen jump red lights and pavement jump to avoid red lights (which i am guilty of in my hey day) so before you all moan i would like to remind you that if the rider is very young please have some understanding or if the rider is 16 to 35 probably with his trousers down past his knees with a funny smelling smoke in one hand, iphone tweeting all his followers clogging up pavement and weaving all over - my advice is don't moan and move. or if you are walking and suddenly a bike jumps up onto the pavement and narrowly misses you and jumps back onto the road don't moan by a commuter rushing to get home or to work. here is a link to the story http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2987756/Police-threaten-confiscate-four-year-old-girl-s-bike-way-school-cycling-pavement.html or if like me when you hear "bicycle" only one thing springs to mind - song by Queen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncQsBzI-JHc now if you want to add your 10 cents i would be grateful if it did rhyme. thanks. i got this to the palace and i hope Sophies family can see that others can see the fault in Lincolnshire police. crime must be very low in this area if this is what the police are now looking out for. )

Ruddy jobsworth.

The child was cycling the two miles to school, as against getting in a car.
We moan about childhood obesity , then when kids make the effort they get pulled up.
If the councils/government or whoever can't/won't provide cycle tracks for young kids then allow them on a pavement until they are old enough to be road wise.

Well said.

The cycling proficiency is not mandatory which means most kids riding bikes don't understand the rules of the road.

Unbelievable :/

He would've felt worse if this kid got hit by a car whilst riding on the road.

Four! How are they supposed to learn to ride a bike? I wouldn't be comfortable letting a child ride on the road outside of quiet residential streets until they're at least 8 to 10 (depending on the child).

I cycle to work in summer and am lucky as there are scenic cycle tracks the entire way (converted old railway line, completely away from the roads, it's a very peaceful journey!) and I suppose local kids could learn there... But not everywhere has cycle routes available. A small child on their little bike is totally different to an adult hurtling along. How fast can a 4 year old even be going? They shouldn't be stopping anyone unless what they're doing is genuinely unsafe.

Don't think there's much to worry about around here to be fair. Group of teenage lads hangs around outside my work on BMX bikes, jumping around and doing tricks on and off the pavement, into the path of cars and buses (it's at a large bus stop), playing "chicken" with pedestrians by deliberately riding at them. Also getting into fights with the local junkies :facepalm:. The police see them plenty and they NEVER do anything about it. Even when they went through a phase of bumping their bikes into the wall of our building, smashing and breaking off tiles. Sigh.
