reluctant cyclist

i was only joking about the spitting, i do appreciate your advice

its interesting about kids on pavements, i always thought that they were allowed to ride on the pavement. i might just let him scoot instead then because he is far far too young to ride on the road. raises the question of when is old enough though i suppose

whatever i do i will do it responsibly because the last thing i'd want is to hurt someone or to hurt myself

I don't know what the law is actually - there must be a lower age limit - can't find anything in the Highway Code about it - perhaps you are just expected to use your common sense

ahh you shouldnt have we need elitists to keep the rest of us in our place
i should change mine really as im no longer sunburnt

im abit concerned now actually, ive dug my excercise bike out of the garage (far easier typed than done) and i have realised that this quad injury im nursing is restricting movement so its hard to do a complete turn of the wheel on one side. i hope its better befroe my bike comes or else this thread will have been in vain

It seems that whilst it's against the law to cycle on the pavement, under 16s won't get prosecuted if they get caught:
