We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Enforce the £30 fine for cycling on FOOTpaths. More details
Submitted by Helen Durkin – Deadline to sign up by: 29 July 2007 – Signatures: 41
Whilst I understand children may need to cycle on the footpaths sometimes, the fine was brought in to stop cyclists from running people over as they walk along minding their own business. I have met with quite a few close shaves where the bicycle has met me and my 2 German Shepherds on the blind bend of 2 streets and one of my dogs hates cyclists! Now if my dog were to react inappropriately to the cyclist/bike on the FOOTpath, who would get in the most trouble?!!? And all I get is a mouthful of abuse from the cyclist.
