I am opposed to cycling on footpaths. What about pedestrians with disabilities who may not see or hear the cyclist coming at them or be unable to get out of the way in time. Some cyclists wobbled about and race at top speed which is why I am opposed. If cycling was allowed it would leave pedestrians in danger.

Hard to enforce – bicycles don’t require speedos, so it comes down to "an officer’s opinion" which may or may not be accurate. 10 km/h is really slow – about double walking pace, and most school kids could easily exceed 10 km/h for a burst.

For example, where did the 14 years old come from, rather than younger or older? I think you would get more widespread support for the idea if you dropped it to kids under 10 or 8. Or what about cutoffs other than age? Could you keep the current wheel diameter limit, but increase it so that more childrens’ bikes qualify? Or base it on behaviour instead – anyone can ride on the footpath as long as they only cycle slowly (say 10km/h).
