General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
Most countries have cycle lanes, and there are more being introduced over here.I don't mind kids on bikes as long as they have a bell to warn me before mowing me down hehe, I'd rather them be safe on a pavement than be hit by a car. As long as they are taught to ride safely there shouldn't be a problem.
As for disability scooters, I am a carer, I take a lady out who uses one and I can't keep up with her, they should be made to go at walkin pace only. They are heavy and can really cause a bad injury. The speed she can reach on hers in unreal, if I ran up and down a town centre street at that speed I would bump into someone.She is also like many under the impression that us walkers are psychic, we don;t see them coming from behind yet she yells for folk to move at the last minute.
