Just a point of accuracy, mobility scooters are also banned from the seawall following accidents last year when two came off the wall and landed on the beach in a very short space of time. Like it or not, the only safe way to traverse the wall is on foot!
Government said it has no plans for a new Royal Yacht. Really stupid, they clearly have no idea about the country they are supposed to run. Missed an excellent opportunity there, very sad and very silly.
Why don't we just ban people and dogs on the wall...........and perhaps ban birds as they pooh..... Oh and dead whales as well. That really smelt foul. Oh and lastly can we ban waves its it cost so much to repair the wall last time! there you go problem solved! Personally I dont have an issue with bikes, skate boards, roller blades etc. I take risks every time I leave my front door. If ...
Can anyone compose a sign banning lycra-clad (but maybe quite intelligent) urban terrorists but allowing the slower, amiable, considerate pedal-pushers? How on earth could one be enforced? And is the act all that different to riding along a canal towpath? There were railings on the shore side of the repaired concrete wall last year. Now they're gone. Although their remains are visible flush ...

Yes there are many stories of bad cyclist and scooter users who seem to think they can just run anyone off the path/road because it suits them, then there is the others who know how to act correctly and civilized towards others and the environment thier in. As to "Pete" ...
@tom (25 oct 2016 12:19) the signs specifically state no cycling, if you are capable of cycling then you can walk with the bike along that stretch. yes, scooters are more stable than 2 wheel cycles, obviously! I, for one, do not want a person or group of cyclist's trying to barge past me on the sea wall on their inherently unstable cycles. If a disabled scooter came past I would, out of ...
Pete I like to see you repeat that if you HAD to use a disability scooter to get about then you would really know what a bloody pain in the arse is
You dont see disabillity scooters racing along and dodging people who are walking along the sea wall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you do . They are a bloody pain in the arse. Ban them all.
@tom You dont see disabillity scooters racing along and dodging people who are walking along the sea wall Let's not forget that there is a lovely new (unused) cycle path from the warren into Dawlish now, so the cyclists can use that.
