I live on quite a steep street and as I inch my car out my drive on to the road more and more frequently I find cyclists, and sometimes scooter riders, tearing down the hill on the pavement. They seem quite oblivious to any danger they may be causing to themselves or a motorist legitimately using the exit.
I always look up the pavement carefully before creeping out, but the speed of the free-wheeling cyclists is tremendous.
It is an accident just waiting to happen, not just outside my house but all along the road. A few days ago a young mother shot down on her bicycle with her small son on another bicycle a few yards behind her!
