My observations have more cyclists on pavements than the road; of course, this will probably vary from place to place. ALSO, it's amazing how many cyclists choose to ride on the pavement along the quietest roads imaginable. BTW, I bet most cyclist under say 30, in the UK, don't know that the law forbids bikes on the pavement. Now, how has this situation arisen? Well, ask one of those local police officers. You know, the ones with one blind eye!
