I LIKE to see young people riding bikes as it is a great form of exercise and pleasure. But I do wish they would ride on cycle paths and roads, not on pavements or shopping centres.

If you must ride on pavement, please consider pedestrians, especially before proceeding round corners where there could be a danger of colliding with walkers who may be elderly or infirm, even children unaware of danger and possible injury.
