I would MUCH rather ride on the foot path than on the road! it makes much more sense to me. there is like NO ONE ever walking on the path, and even at my top speed I could stop completely within like 5 meters... I consider the chance of an accident with a pedestrian unlikely...
and yet... it is illegal to ride on the foot path...
as a cyclist on a foot path I feel confident that I could avoid any pedestrians, and as a pedestrian, I feel confident, that, if necessary, I could jump out the way of any cyclists. on the road, as a cyclist I am extremely unconfident riding around traffic, and as the traffic, in a car, I am equally unconfident when it comes to driving round cyclists...
maybe thats just me...
