Sharon Irvine I have a condition that means I have problems with spatial awareness, balance, co-ordination and judging speed/distances. I find it difficult enough to navigate crossing roads and pavements are my "safe space" where the only thing I have to worry about is being run over by a pram.
Lynn Marno Holdsworth Cyclists want to be pedestrians and motorists all at once. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Me and my guide dog are relatively safe on the pavement for now.
Jaz Phillips People ride mobility scooters on pavements so what's the problem as long as there careful.
