Pavement etiquette

Cycling on the pavement is illegal.

Cycling on the pavement can be dangerous to lawful pavement users - pedestrians.

Cycling on the pavement is inconsiderate to others who have a right to be there.

Cycling on the pavement is the type of arrogant activity that gives cyclists generally a bad name and encourages people in their negative views towards them. As a consequence, cycling on the pavement may encourage dangerous behaviour towards lawful cyclists on the road.

Cycling on the pavement demonstrates among some cyclists an attitude that the law is only to be obeyed if it is not inconvenient to them. This is arrogance and antisocial.

If you must cycle on pavements, put stabilisers on your bike.

But it's ok to go through red lights? Right?
