I try and avoid roads when I'm on my bike, too many big trucks trying to make you a splat on the tarmac, i try and avoid pavements too and go cross country, but I must admit to feeling an awful lot safer on the pavement than in the road.

I do wonder what will happen in the future, as you see more and more of these mobility scooter thngies out and about.

and they're everywhere, road, pavement, in shops etc.

And whilst not undermining anyone who genuinely needs one of these things, I do see a trend where more and more younger, fit bodied types use them as 'alternative transport' to get about on.
