      so.. if they rode on the pavement, would you be ranting that they are putting the pedestrians in danger?

      p.s. just want to know..

      The danger posed to pedestrains by cyclists is not as serious as the danger faced by cyclists on roads.There is statistics to show that what i say is true.

      Because the road has less traffic?

      Because motorised vehicles run at high speed and most bicylces go by relatively very low speed.

      Since cyclists are supposed to ride on the roads,do they have the right to ride at the middle of a lane?If one does,he would obstruct the traffic.
