Up until 14 I was always told to stop riding in the road and stay on the pavement, then I was told to stop riding on the pavement and start riding in the road and sit in the gutter out of the way, Which I still get shouted at me, aka that I shouldn't be more than a meter from the edge of the road.
Luckly I was never really one for doing as I was told but a lot of people will only have ridden bikes as children, where they were taught to ride on the pavement or edge of the road. so that's what they will expect
