Cycling on the pavement!!

[Marianna]

Come On Marianne!! Get back on yer bike?

I've always preferred walking and when I'm not ill, injured or recovering from surgery I walk several miles most days. Took up cycling to try to add some variety, but competing with cars for space on the road, and being so exposed to injury, frightened me half to death. The bike is still in the cellar. If I ever weed out my stuff far enough back into that corner to get to it, I'll donate it to the Salvation Army.

One of the very few times I have ever been apprehended by the boys in blue is when I was riding my bicycle on the pavement (aka sidewalk for USA) at about the age of 11 as it was strictly not allowed.

I get problems as they ride on the canal towpath (which used to be illegal but is now "permitted") and I can not hear them coming up behind me and they get very irritated that I am unable to hear them as my hearing is getting worse.
