Given that the law banning cycling on pavements is acknowledgement by a former authority that such practise is a danger to pedestrians, how can current authorities consider it not to be a danger when the pavement is called the '˜Adur Ferry Bridge' in Shoreham?

The danger for cyclists, when using our roads, stems largely from the disparity between cycle and motor-traffic speeds. The Ferry Bridge situation has simply transferred the same problem over to pedestrians.

While we all know that many cyclists moderate their speed, recent history tells us that it only takes one specimen of the ‘speed-freak-on-a-mission’ variety to injure or kill someone.
