... or there is some exaggeration going on.

Louisa - I don't doubt that it happens, but 5 or 6 times a week? If that's the norm then I must have some remarkable bike repelling properties I was hitherto unaware of - or I have just been incredibly lucky not to have run into these bike thugs, against apparently incredible odds....

Nice friendly EDF reaction to a perfectly reasonable post.

Fair enough, I can't speak to your personal experience, but it just seems incredible that you are being passed so regularly on the pavements. Does it always happen in the same spots? Maybe there is some reason that it is happening in specific locations? If it's all over, then I would worry you're being stalked and it may actually be the same person each time.

I ran around 400 miles in the last 12 months, almost exclusively on south London / central London streets. This is just those runs that have been recorded (using a Nike+ device), so could be more. In addition I walk, a lot. In all this time and over hundreds of miles, I can say honestly that I have not once been passed on the pavement by a cyclist. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but 5/6 times a week or more?! It just seems to stretch the bounds of probability.

Nigello are you sure you're not in fact walking in the road?

I walk and run around London a lot. I just can't believe that you have cyclists pass you on the pavement twice a week.

True

So riding up the pavements on dirt bikes, doing wheelies is 'working class'. You are a terrible snob.

You should haves who could wax a moustache

It's religiously unreliable.

Why does it only operate 6 days a week?

'chabby chic'

Is there a reason that the water can't drain away quickly enough? Seems like a systematic floor?

I agree and hopefully, whilst they're still funny, cute innocent little ones, they won't have to witness violent and aggressive behaviour, especially in an area designed for them to be safe and have fun.

What his decent, hardworking, English account?

Isn't that the same house which had a fire. Seems to be jinxed
