Be careful on the pavements...

OP has said a lot about that. They've been a bit less forthcoming in describing their own behaviour in how they "raised the issue"! Perhaps that might explain the laughing onlookers. Perhaps not.

Why did you feel the need to post that?

Have you actually read the rest of the thread?

This thread is about the father's ungenerous and snide reaction towards a pedestrian, into which his four-year-old collided. Not about whether said child should have been cycling on the pavement. 

It's a thread about parenting so stop hijacking it, just so you can showcase, yet again, your vast and superior knowledge about roads, bikes, cars, driving, the law, pavements, ebikes, LTNs. PCNs, lanes, lines, speed limits, helmets, lights, dayglow, lycra etc etc etc. 

Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement.

But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself.

Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark,

My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
