I am fully aware I am on a vehicle, I'm a little old lady slim, I don't have all the lycra pants and the go faster t-shirts, I just wear a skirt and t-shirt, works fine - I don't go zooming about the place I just potter along, I could easily get off and walk (Although I did get into super fast gear the other day, for a short period). Is it OK to walk with a bike on the pavement? You couldn't really take a car on the pavement though, could you? It's not dangerous unless people are inconsiderate, which is something I find most cyclists on the roads to be - yer a bloody menace.
