Grown-up people riding on the pavement wind me up at the best of times, but what I just saw this lunchtime took the biscuit.
You may have noticed it’s snowed a bit lately. The roads round here are pretty clear but the pavements are covered in slush and slippery compacted snow. Quite a few pedestrians are choosing to walk in the road instead.
So I was surprised to see a clearly nervous middle aged lady cyclist wobbling along on the treacherous pavement at walking pace, when the road next to her was clear of snow and the traffic all driving at very sensible speeds for once.
I won’t be happy if my taxes have to pay for her hip replacement.
