As I was cycling along the Hackney Rd yesterday morning I saw a guy of about 18 riding on the pavement, ringing his bell to get an old lady to move out of his way. Charming.
I suspect that the crackdown around Bethnal Green/Cambridge Heath is on local scallies, we've have quite a lot of problems recently as a whole cohort of kids came of the age where they can get illicit booze and burn things drunkenly. Many of them ride bikes on the pavement.
I don't really see why anyone who knows how to ride a bike would ride one on the pavement in the area anyway, it's all relatively smooth-flowing and the roads aren't too crowded.
