Danger cycle

The antics of rogue cyclists on Brighton and Hove's pavements are not
for the squeamish.

I notice oriental cyclists are obeying the rules and keeping to
designated lanes. As for the rest, many are treating the law with
contempt.

I was nearly knocked down outside Somerfields. I stood and watched as
the cyclist, at quite a speed, weaved in and out of pedestrians.

Most cyclists after dark have no lamp and I am often frightened as one
goes past me at speed.

It seems as though the authorities are waiting for a death or serious
injury before this menace is tackled.
