I certainly think that there's an excellent case for relaxing the
pavement cycling law for children of ten years and under.
The Royal Parks prohibit all cycling on footpaths, other than marked
cycle routes and roads, but their regulations allow for children of
ten years and under to ride on paths when learning to ride safely.
That seems very sensible.
