ned1 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) the police will take no notice to you unless they are some pussy ass newbie police man. i got threatened with a night in the cells for 'disturbing the peace' or something because i simply said ask for his badge number. they won't listen it's best to either not ride the pavement and ride elsewhere or if you do want to ride the pavement ride it at your own risk dude. 'up n away could you please translate 'ploise' for me, 'alout' is obvuiously a spelling mistake i am thinking it is meant to mean allowed Edited March 19, 2007 by ned1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Why don't you just get off when there's police around?I ride through town and just jump off when I get near police - not worth the hassle really, some may ignore you, the majority won't so just don't give them the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineasmithpig Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hello just so everyone knows if your ride a 20" bike you are aloud to ride on the pavement because your bike is classed as a childs bike and to ride on the road you need a proper seat and reflecters on your pedels and wheel so bascilly everyone is alout to ride on the pavement.don't talk daft. you're not aloud to ride on the pavement just because you ain't got reflectors. reflectors are only required to be fitted to bikes WHEN THEY LEAVE THE SHOP as a new bike. as soon as its out, you can rip them off.basically, don't ride like an arse when you're on the pavement. ride responsibly and considerably, and if the police do stop you, be courteous and apologetic, and just push them for as long as you have to. if there's a group of 10-15 lads on bikes thrashing along the pavement when there's pedestrians about, then the police have a duty to ensure the safety of everyone using said pavement, and the bikers will be classed as the danger.just don't do it. and don't get cocky with the police when they stop you. if you feel you have been unfairly treated (given a fine when you were riding with care) then go to the station and make a formal complaint, just stating that you feel you were no danger to anyone. if they aren't having any of it, ask for a statement declaring which law/s you are deemed to have broken. if they do prove it, take the shame. but i'm pretty sure they would just drop it, or give you a caution or something insteadSmithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) Haha! Mint I never new about the 20" bikes being classed as a childs bike and you being able to ride on the pavement. So now when old people tell me to go on the road I can say "no, its a 20" bike" Cheers Bud- ~Matty Edited March 20, 2007 by Matt-y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna stop the next one they see, and ask for their advice on the matter. will post my findings as soon asSmithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
