Yes, that's what you should be saying to the ones who walk in the road when there's a pavement available! Though for some reason i think that you'd take the apologetic timid approach

Yes but then they'd be wrong because you are a vehicle on a road. A pedestrian is not a vehicle so they shouldn't be walking on roads when pavements are available. I've noticed over the last year or so that road walking, even at night time has become fashionable. Why? The only time i've road walked is in winter when the pavements are icy but the road has been gritted. To me road walking is done out of devilment to obstruct us cyclists. Believe it or not on Friday night two young girls were walking along the white lines of a main road, at about 11 o clock. There was a pavement available yet there they were, making cars swerve and slow down for no reason!1981443 said:

I thought the 'old biddies' were walking through the park?Are you on another planet or is it a different Highway Code in Wales? Listen to me..roads are for vehicles, PAVEMENTS are for pedestrians!!!!

Well putting two and two together - I'm clever like that - I'd say they were pissed. You're talking cobblers. People might walk on the road for any number of reasons. Better surface, flatter, pavement too narrow, overhanging hedges spiking you in the eye. But sometimes it's just because it's nicer, because one line is more inviting than another. Who cares?

Pointless trying to reason with someone who's avatar suggests their level of ignorance.

Whilst you manage to reveal yours entirely through the content of your posts. Congratulations!

Here for rides.
I hope a special corner of hell is reserved for the king size numpty bellend monkey spankers that leave disguarded inner tubes, inner tube boxes and old CO2 canisters by the side of the road/trail. Along with their gel tubes, energy bar wrappers and assorted "I'm a serious cyclist" detritus.
And within that corner I hope there is a spike, to be inserted rectally, for those who do so in The Hurtwood. Ignorant ****s the lot of them.

Oh not just old biddies, Welsh pig lovers fall into my category of ones to be buzzed as well

I sometimes walk in the road- sometimes it is because the pavement is littered with cars or bins put in my way, sometimes I think it is because I cycle I get used to being on the road even when I haven't got my bike
.
On the way back from the time trials - I walked in the road and several of the Olympic volunteers tried to persuade me to walk on the path. The path was 2 foot wide at that point and had loads of pedestrians going at a slower pace than my family were walking, the road beside us was almost entirely empty (completely shut to normal traffic), had the occasional car and loads of cyclists. They seemed to be enjoying the open road and it seemed stupid to try to restrict all the pedestrians leaving an event to such a narrow space when it was perfectly safe to walk on the road.

The law does not forbid walking on any road except a Motorway. I can't say I've had any trouble with pedestrians while riding on the Motorway.
