In about 5 years of 'doing laps' i haven't even once visited the park for any other reason .. haven't been to/seen the pond or Isabella plantation either ..

You should, it's really very nice.

Ah you should, its great, and much of it is completely isolated. One may as well complain about people walking dogs or the presence of deer, so innocuous is it all. In fact, the only people with genuine cause to complain about the cyclists are other cyclists (indicate when you're turning into that cafe near Roaehampton Gate, for Christ's sake).

It's weird, because if you're walking around Richmond Park generally, you're not going to notice how much traffic there is on the road - the place is pretty big and the speedy cyclists perceived to be the problem are only interested in doing laps, so they stick to the Park's main road. So aside from the moment your average pedestrian wishes to cross the road into the park's interior, how is the amount of traffic even an issue?
