There is a suggestion that a great many deaths and injuries could be prevented by allowing cyclists to officially ride on the pavements. I would go along with this, with one proviso - that it is made clear that pedestrians have the right of way. I get really annoyed when I have to leap out of the way of someone cycling on the pavement who makes no attempt to avoid me but carries on merrily in a straight line. I would also make it obligatory for all cycles to have bells, and for it to be a legal requirement that a cyclist coming up behind a pedestrian must ring their bell to warn them. Subject to this, seems a sensible suggestion.
