All bicycles must be ridden on the road

AGAINST:

I am firmly against cyclists biking on the road because if you fall off your bike on the road there is a 100% chance you will hit gravel where as if you are on the footpath there is a 60% chance that you will fall on the grass.

Firstly little kids should not be on the road because they are small and in a car you would not be able to see them. Their arms are also too little to see so that when they put it out the driver would not see them and head straight toward the poor kid while she is crossing the road. It would all end up with an ambulance, two worried and angry parents and a very sorry driver.

Secondly cars create more damage than a pedestrian also the earth-quakes have made some roads very hazardous and very dangerous for small children.

Lastly cars take much longer to brake than a bike does. That is why I think all bikes should be ridden on the footpath.
