Ha! On a Facebook group dedicated to photographs of the local area I posted a photo of four cars completely blocking a pavement a few streets away from where I live.
In the following discussion I made mention of reducing our nations reliance on cars and promoting walking, cycling and public transport. Never even mentioned that I ride a bike myself.
Here's the response from well informed respondant.
Well Sara_H you should live in our village then where bike riders often use the pavement, wheelies and such like do not constitute been in control of your bike. Do you drive by the way or just hinder motorists on the road by riding 2 abreast, not signalling etc etc. My husband has to park on the pavement as the road where I live is not wide enough to park on the road, how would you feel if your home was burning to the ground and the fire brigade or ambulance could not get to you for an inconsiderate, selfish, lazy motorist. You should not tar all drivers with the same brush just as I don't tar all bike riders with the same brush.
Theres more besides. Crikey.
