Miscarriage of justice? You jest, surely? :-)
My own view on pavement cycling is quite simple. I have no objection at all to young children, when accompanied by an adult, cycling on a pavement. However, once those children grow a little, I do object. If asked to come up with non-pavement-riding age, I'd say anyone over 10 should ride on the correct bit of tarmac: the road.
I agree entirely. However, from Simon's description this does not appear to be a case of pavement cycling.

IIRC fixed penalty notices for that offence cannot be issued to anyone under 16.

... and below about 10 years old courts will decide that people are not criminally responsible for their actions.

Hi Tony
This being several years after they've all [*] become hooked on pavement cycling, lost their virginity (I almost made a serious spelling error there) and started taking divers illegal drugs - possibly all three at the same time.
