Re: @Commswonk
And incidentally, there are some (not many) pavements in London which are dual use for cyclists and pedestrians. Here's one on Chelsea Embankment (zoom in on the blue sign). Again, this is not a license for cyclists to behave like dickheads, and nor is it a license for pedestrians to "swing a big stick" or push it in their spokes (that last one @x 7).
As always it comes down to the golden rule: don't be a dick. Play nicely with others, and don't assume they will play nicely with you.
