personally i think the law is fine, where i am in london (live is victoria, work in the city) i don't really see cyclists on the pavement. Places like covent garden seem to attract them though.
i might cycle if we had showers at work but to be honest, after 11 hours of troubleshooting routing issues, sitting on the circle line for 20 minutes seems a much better option
My brother said many bikes are stolen even when riders on the the bike, if they stop (traffic lights, pedastrian crossings etc) could get pushed off. So perhaps this is why some in london carry on riding through?
Live up north in posher, cleaner and less crime area so dunno..
