Questions over bikes using pavements

Dear Editor

-

Re Your article (PA, March 10) on cyclists in Tay Street, I would like to know if PKC has a bye law regarding cyclists on pavements in general or can Police Scotland comment on this matter. As I go on my daily walk round many streets on the outskirts and the City Centre and I am amazed at the number of cyclists who use the pavements and assume they have the right of way over pedestrian­s.

So can PKC confirm that they have also approved the use of pavements by cyclists.

I think I may start to walk in the cycle lanes on the road as they appear safer than the pavement.

Do any other readers have the same experience?
