In answer, no I am not pavement cycling. I dismount my bike at that point and walk across the lights. Notice the bobbing of the camera.
And no, no intimidation. Just informing the young lady that pavement cycling is illegal. She was traveling along that pavement (with hidden paths leading from the houses) at probably about 10-15 mph. If I see that, I will make a comment, male or female.

Pastaman,
Firstly you admitted cycling the wrong way up a one way street, which is not to be reccomended. Secondly you admit to cycling on the pavement, which while illegal, has mitigating factors. I cycle on the pavement for a number of reasons during the course of my duty. I have had many discussions on here as to the reasons for that. However. You were on the pavement when this person had a go at you. It IS illegal to cycle on the pavement and they are quite entitled to voice thier concern. If you can legitamately give reasons for your actions and explain that to the person then fair enough. Venting your anger at somebody disagreeing with what you have illegally done is not the way to go about winning friends and influencing people.
Most on here feel the need to adhere to the law for the sake of public perception. The argument "Fake Policeman do it so I can" is about as mature an argument as you would normally hear in the play ground at pimary school!
Glad you have joined the forum but we are not here just to bash drivers of motorised vehicles.

Depends on the pavement,whether it has a cycle path.You can share with peds if you cycle responsibly but that doesn't seem likely half the time does it?

You broke the law.
Someone pulled you up on it.
You were in the wrong. 100%.
Deal with it.

Let's have a look at the ingredients:
Bloke comes onto forum, complains about being told off for riding (illegally) on the the pavement, and also does it with appalling grammar to boot.
Said forum is a cycling forum, frequented by 'cyclists', i.e. people who ride bikes a lot and have vast miles of experience in their legs.
'Real' cyclists (apart from 5 year old children on stabilisers) don't ride on footpaths - POBs do, or pedestrians on bikes. You can usually tell them quite easily - full sus MTB seat at lowest position, (exceedingly rusty) chain set on highest gear possible, and they ride like Ben Hur churning the pedals round at 3rpm, rocking their shoulders from lft to right because of the effort.
All this weaving in and out of 'real' pedestrians, because they are 'scared' to ride on the road, or like the feeling of lording it over people walking along????
They haven't got the common sense or brains to work out how to use the 18-20 lower gears to help make it easy, and they sure won't listen to advice.
That said, one of a few things will happen:
Spagettiman will either go back to knocking one of whilst watching badly-made porn starring women he will never meet, possibly continue to try and justify riding like an idiot, or he will be adult enough to realise his mistake, offer an apology to the woman who told him off for riding on the path in the first place, say sorry for being a prat on here and then get welcomed with open arms into our little nest?
The choice is yours?
