Remember you can ride on the pavement if you are teaching your sons to ride providing you are not causing problems to other pavement users and that under 16 are not allowed to ride on the road - Metropolitian Police bike team Cycle show Oct 2010. That is confusing as 2 Panda cars pull up a year ago tell me and my 7 year old who was a late learner to get off the pavement and on to the main road now this is a dangerous road with cars going very quickly. Pointing out one of these speeding cars the police said 'noting to do with us mate'. These people also confirmed they would only get involved if my son was a fatality on this road. Great so you can imagine why he did not appreciate being likened to one of Jim Henson's creations. The moral of this story is - well I'm not sure there are quite a few that come to mind.
