The footway is sometimes the only place suitable for cycling, where traffic speed is an issue. I realise not in Camberwell, but I'm just saying that it's not black and white, especially for people in rural and suburban places. According to an article in the CTC rag, about the tiny kid who was reprimanded by a copper in Lincolnshire, the current police guidance is that cyclists should be given the benefit of the doubt where they use the footway in heavy traffic and fast road situations.
