Pedestrians are legally entitled to safety on pavements --if councils can put up threatening fine notices to dog owners ---pick up/keep off beach then can do this to stop selfish illegal biking on pavements --we are entitled to have somewhere safe to walk -now cyclists are on all park grass and ilsham valley -going on all pavements--up one way streets the wrong way its v v dangerous chaos and mayhem and theyre anonymous--and when swearing at anyone objecting to this -they know it--council and gov must act to educate and regulate this or ban biking and encourage the better exercise of WALKING and better electric buses french style--who have the sense not to give away the worlds highest foreign aid of over a billion per month --no wonder uk looks tatty and poor and 1 million underfed kids and pensioners also on the civilised worlds lowest pension--
