Richmond Park (Clockwise or Anti Clockwise?

[fossyant]

Ah very London centric, cycle round a park one way or the other.... whoop dee doo. There is a speed limit on there BTW.

Me, Potsy, 400bhp, and hacienda (and others) are off for a TTT through Tatton Park ??? FFS !!! - first to the cafe buys ? No speed limit up here.

Get a life !

I was cycling around Richmond Park yesterday and ended up cycling with this guy and we were talking about what way is harder to cycle... he said clockwise hills are steeper than anti clockwise, is that true? I also done some research on other reasons for anti clockwise and it turns out cyclists do it to not have to get caught up at the roundabouts....

There are no hills in Richmond Park - come live up North.

You northerners always say that type of thing about South, it gets tiring.

Someone should inform this boy that the police and magistrates know nowt about the (bye)laws.... http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/10682089._/

That boy pleaded guilty straight away as he wasn't aware of the 2010 amendment. Show me a link where it states cyclists are not exempt.. And not some silly cycling sign, I want it written as a law or bye law.

Guess the only way is to find out......Cycle as fast as you can past the police in the park, if they pull you over and wish to proceed with penalising you, take it to court and let us know how you get on.....

Technically, it doesn't say what he was charged with. It may have been something outside the scope of speeding, at which point the law regarding that becomes irrelevant.
