Have you considered standing as an MP. With your world view I am sure some partys would be interested in you. Anyway you are in a minority of one so that might tell you something?

It does. It tells me I'm either standing up against the bullies or I'm the only one that knows what he's on about :tongue:

Very mature. I have already explained about taking the use of the word 'reign' to mean control rather than restrain.

You and you're two mates are starting to frighten me now

Would you consider yourself middle class btw?

restrain to some extent is control. you sir doesn't live in the real world. reality is the park is where kids become very excited and will be out of control at some point. maybe you never experienced childhood.

I can't quite believe we're having this argument. Pedestrians, including kids, have absolute priority on footpaths, regardless of whether the council has painted a white line down the middle and designated it shared use.

Kids have every right to run around a park as erratically and unpredictably as they want - there is no reason for them to be "reined in" by their parents (unless there is a pond or something). Cyclists simply shouldn't figure on the list of hazards in a park. If you're cycling in a park in such a way that you are a hazard, then you're doing it wrong.

As a cyclist, it is my responsibility to avoid pedestrians, not the other way around. If I cycle carefully and at an appropriate speed, the chance of a collision is virtually nil.

You boys are so scary. AF you have the reasoning of a child but at least I can see where you are coming from.

BB yoou don't understand the meaning of the word 'hazard' Do you know that all cars are considered to be hazards whether driven safely or not. You shouldn't argue with limited understanding

I understand the meaning of the word hazard perfectly.
Cycles can be hazards in some situations, but should not be a hazard in a park!

If you're cycling in a park in such a way that you are a hazard, then you're doing it wrong.

JB. I now have reason to believe you are a complete idiot. I feel sorry for you and your children.
