  1. Well when I first saw the video on my mobile this morning at 3.26 she rides up onto the footpath on the Old Bridge and which point it froze. It was not until I got home this evening that I managed to see it all and realised that to be fair to Helen a few seconds later she actually got off her bike and walked. So I apologise for my mistake, I have also apologised on the HT website. That said, there are far far too many people riding on footpaths, which is more than evident in the debate.
  2. This article in this weeks Hereford Times just goes to show how bad the problem has become. So someone else that not only thinks it is acceptable to ride of a footpath they have the stupidity to make a video about themselves doing it to.
  3. It would if they starting handing out decent fines of £100+ each time. Police are quite happy to pull over a motorist to hand out a £100 speeding fine for someone driving at 33mph in a 30mph I know this because it happened to my mate not that long ago. Ultra low level stuff, have a look at the videos Roger that I filmed only this afternoon, some of these idiots are pulling out in front of other vehicles after jumping a red light, all low level until one of these vehicles knocks over and kills or serious injures the cyclist and then guess who they will try to blame. This is potentially life changing stuff in reality.
  4. We have a pair of cyclists jumping the red lights this time. http://www.youtu.be/ZfXtMYvYq2g http://www.youtu.be/kjkk8kXJmTw And have a guess what cyclists do when the lights are on green?
  5. http://www.youtu.be/a5ayi6GQQ8s This cyclist jumps the red traffic lights and then decides to pull a wheelie http://www.youtu.be/bpumuxcsrP8 And yet another one http://www.youtu.be/gg57q9e4YsQ This pair are not content with illegally riding on one footpath oh no these two want a footpath each!
  6. Lets hope they have images of these scum on CCTV
  7. I was sat in Bridge Street late this afternoon and witnessed all of these events below including the 3 previous photographs of the cyclist on the footpath then on the road in the hoody within a space of just 20-30 mins. http://www.youtu.be/6gjq4I3FrcQ Another cyclists who is colour blind... This idiot risked his own life by jumping the lights http://www.youtu.be/2ImDjSq17IA Risking his life by jumping the lights
  8. Because I am a cyclist I can ride on the footpath when it suits me... But I can also change my mind and ride on the road, the motorist however, I will keep guessing
  9. All of these photographs of these criminals were taken within half hour just this morning. The second cyclists narrowly missed the old chap here. Not one but two cyclists riding down the subway! Now we have two cyclists side by side on the footpath!
  10. They would probably be all over you like a rash if you decided to ride one of these, one rule for one and one for another, maybe these are not seen to be GREEN enough.
  11. Minutes of the meeting held on Thursday 14th June 2016 at Northolme Community Centre, Northolme Road, Belmont Hereford. Minutes - 14.7.2016 - scanned final.pdf
  12. The City Link Road opens in December. This short film will inform you how to use the road and surrounding streets.
  13. I wear my poppy with pride, my father was a veteran. Unfortunately, I otherwise engaged next Saturday however, I will be attending remembrance in the city centre on the 12th
  14. Hereford is a very busy store from my understanding so I would be very surprised if it were on the list of closures.
  15. Drove over the Old Bridge earlier this evening we were on our way to grab a Chinese from the Mee Mei, this guy clipped the guy on the outside because he hurled a load of abuse at the cyclist as he went past. http://www.youtu.be/X13aZcBwT2k I turned around in the car park the other side of the bridge because there was no where to park on the left. I sat outside the Chinese in St Martins Street and spotted a cyclist coming along the road in my rear view mirror and I just knew he was going to IGNORE the red traffic lights. He rode up onto the footpath went straight past the traffic lights then went back down onto the road.
  16. Vehicles Damaged in Belmont Avenue Police investigating criminal damage to Vehicles in Belmont Avenue, Hereford and are appealing to local residents for information.

  17. Julian is a good mate of mine Nitecore Fireworks, I assume we are talking about the same Julian?
  18. Probably not Bob. I see this article on Sky News today and Conor McGregor admits it was wrong to use homophobic slur, Freedom Of Speech is no more! He called someone a faggot, so what! The World has gone mad, people cant say bugger all these days without fear of some repercussion.
  19. This part of the pavement is shared space but the cyclists almost hit these people walking with the pushchair according to Alex and that was the point he was making. I have added a comment in brackets stating this is shared space. The rest of the photographs within this whole topic are of people riding on footpaths which are NOT designated for shared space ONLY pedestrians NOT cyclists.
  20. We want everyone to have an enjoyable and fun-filled Bonfire Night this year and are reminding people to stay safe and attend organised events where possible. Fireworks are widely used for celebrations such as Bonfire Night and New Year and can provide a spectacular show. However they can be dangerous if used incorrectly and anyone buying or lighting fireworks should follow the Fireworks Code: · Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114 · Don't drink alcohol if you are setting off fireworks · Keep fireworks in a closed box · Follow the instructions carefully on each firework · Light at arms length, and always use a taper · Stand well back · Never go near a firework that has been lit. Even if it hasn't gone off, it could still explode · Never put fireworks in your pocket or throw them · Always supervise children around fireworks · Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves · Never give sparklers to a child under five · Keep pets indoors Fireworks and the law We would also like to remind people to behave responsibly when using fireworks and ensure they know the law surrounding their use and purchase. · It is an offence to sell fireworks to any person under the age of 18 · It is an offence for any person under the age of 18 to possess a firework. · It is an offence to possess any excessively loud category 3 or 4 (display style) firework · It is an offence to sell any firework (subject to certain exceptions) without a licence granted by the Fireworks Regulations 2004 · It is an offence for any person to use a firework between the hours of 11pm and 7am. Bonfire night is extended to 12 midnight. · It is an offence to throw or fire a firework in or into any highway, street or public place. · It is an offence to make a bonfire or discharge a firework in a street to the obstruction, annoyance or danger of residents or passersby Breaking the law can result in a maximum penalty of £5000 and/or a prison sentence and police can also deal with offences with a Penalty Notice for Disorder (£80). Make your 5th of November a night to remember and follow the steps above to stay safe.
  21. Your taking it a little personal my friend, your contribution is totally valid! Everyone has different views and while I understand exactly where you are coming from however, I am sure you may have a different view if someone you knew was to get hurt by a cyclist riding on a footpath and not a dedicated cycle path or cycle/pedestrian pavement.
  22. This evenings criminal riding across the Victoria Bridge which is only just wide enough for pedestrians! The two girls in the photograph had to move to one side because the cyclist made no attempt to get off and walk. I told him that he should not be riding his bike across the bridge and he just smiled at me, said nothing and carried on. I don't see any other vehicles making him feel unsafe so whats his excuse?
