Police spotting (junction watch)

Vello, dear chap. My point was this. In your story you said, rightly that you would not usually cycle on the pavement. You then sought to excuse it by saying that you were on the phone. This rather horrified me. However, slowly you were going you should not (1) ride on a pavement over the age of 12 and (2) ride while on the phone. To speak on the phone, stop. Cycling on the pavement is unacceptable. It may or may not be dangerous. It is, however, something that is always thrown up by the anticycling Daily Mail types. There is no need to do it. It is wrong. Don't do it. Cycling while on the phone, on the road or pavement is just bloody stupid, cretinous and arrogant as is speaking on the phone while driving. No one can cycle properly while speaking on the phone.
My comment about cycle training was gratuitous but salient.

Yo dear chap... I am not continuing this, I say I was not trying to find myself any excuses (however I phrased this), you just have to believe me, or not believe me, but I am not trying to convince you any further.

Sorry I horrified you, dear chap, really, and for the sake of not giving reasons to the daily mail to write more crap, I will stop myself from doing that kind of unconventional things on my bike, may they be safe or not.

Once again I don't know why you felt it was necessary to remind me how cretinous and arrogant I am / I was / it is, to speak on the phone while cycling, as I had already admited this... As we say in france, you are only breaking into doors that are already openned... Please, dear chap, please...

We all need cycle training.
