Brighton and Hove City Council has created cycle lanes all over Brighton, including one letting you ride along the seafront, all the way to Worthing.
I was a cyclist til the age of 57 and obeyed the law. I didn't ride on the pavement, through red lights or infuriate motorists, who have to pay road tax and insurance.
Motorists and cyclists should obey the Highway Code. If drivers don't, they face prosecution so why not cyclists as well? They are a law unto themselves.
They can ride over the Downs but for them to build ramps and dig ditches in the woods, as in Wild Park, so they can race at top speed, making people jump out of their way, is wrong.
They have nothing to moan about.
If mini-moto bikers ride on the Downs, they will be prosecuted and have their bikes confiscated. Why doesn't the same apply to cyclists when they break the law?
Unlike cyclists, mini-moto riders have more of a right to moan as they have nowhere legal to ride and should be given the facilities to do so.
