General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Only just seen your post xrh59 but I knew straight away when you mentioned regiment that it was 10 RH. I've worked with members of the Royal Hussars in the past when I was still with hubby who was in the Army. Problem with your statement Neverstill is that a bike is a vehicle, like any other, and is subject to rules of the road. A pavement is for pedestrians and road is for wheels. I take your point about motorists although I am one of those who have great respect for those on two wheels and give them a wide berth. Not all pedestrians are quick to jump out of the way and if a child runs into an old or infirm person and injures them then the child's parents are liable - I bet there's not many parents insure their kids and their bikes.
