Round here we get them bombing the pavement in the dark, no lights, hooded, so as to avoid being identified by patrols. It's time this 'aggravated pavement cycling' carried a heavy penalty. Meanwhile the councils are installing dual-use crossings in places with no cycle lanes, which is an open encouragement to illegal use of the footway. If not, what are such crossings for? I don't see how they serve any purpose to the legal road cyclist, after all.
