| 859503 | 2010-02-18 04:46:00 | I agree with you that it's safer to cycle on the footpath. Just don't know why the politicians made it illegal to do so. Because they dont have to ride bikes. They have big flash free cars. So it doesnt occur to them that bikes bend easily. PJ |

| 859504 | 2010-02-18 21:20:00 | Because it is supposed to be for Pedestrians!! Whenever I see people being dogmatic about rules I am reminded of the old saying "Rules are for the guidance of the wise man and observance of the idiot" Sadly I have so often seen examples in the past of rules being blindly followed for no benefit to anybody. And fortunately for most of us wiser console prevailing. After all it was only in the last 40 years or so the old English law about "It is illegal to leave your parish on Sunday" was finally done away with. It was so widely ignored (except by the Lords Day Observance Society - a prime example of first class idiots) most people didn't even know it existed. |

| 859505 | 2010-02-18 21:47:00 | On that point, even the fuzz seem to have some "flexibility". Many years ago, a friend of mine was stopped by a friendly gendarme, and told off for riding his bicycle up Bowen Street in Wellington, just below the Botanical Gardens. The cop said he was asking for a pasting from cars, and that he should ride his bike up the footpath as far as Tinakori Road. | John H (8) | ||

| 859507 | 2010-02-19 07:07:00 | I jaywalked in heavy rain once to catch a Newlands coach, got slapped with a wet bus ticket. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 859508 | 2010-02-19 07:41:00 | I jaywalked in heavy rain once to catch a Newlands coach, got slapped with a wet bus ticket. :clap That's a fairly standard punishment under the NZ judicial system. ... |
