Pavement cycling

CJG ks said:

On the stretches where I do cycle on the pavement I show as much
respect as possible.

If you were showing them respect your be walking your bike rather than
riding it. Pavements are there for walking. Not riding a bike on. End of
story.

Except that if you cycle on a pavement at or below walking pace you
have more control over your bike, you take up less space, and you
shield pedestrians better from the oily bits than if you push the thing.

Obeying the law /= respect for or courtesy towards pedestrians.
