What the hell is that? Nice to see that PCSOs are sticking sticks in the spokes of pavements cyclists right now and good luck to them. You do want to watch those plebians launch over their own handlebars onto their chins. But that’s apparently not bad enough. I now have to avoid pavement drivers. I know this this, because I have actually had to step out of the way of them.

If you happen to live on one of those streets in Norwich where a line of cars parked on one side of the road leaves enough space for, at most, 1 car at a time to drive on what’s left, then you’ll probably already know what I’m talking about. It depends, however, on the height of the curbs as to just how life-threatening your walk to work/school/pub might be. There are a number of roads in the victorian terraced areas around here with curbs that pretty much don’t exist. I mean, you can see them alright, but it’s not too much of a lurch to just stick your front wheel up there and cruise along for a bit when you can’t be arsed to wait until the person coming in the other direction has passed.

Note to those drivers. Those are my legs you’re driving at. Oh, and the kids on their way to school who now have to not only concentrate when they cross the road, but when they walk along beside it. You lazy arses should be kicked out of the gene pool.
