it clearly states: "So far no fines, so I saddle up my trusty bicycle for one last attempt at attracting the attention of the law. Under the Highways Acts of 1835, cycling on the pavement is breaking the law, and since 1999 subject to a fixed-penalty notice - unless you're on a unicycle, which circumvents the ruling."
interesting....

Personally I think the Goverment / Councils are clouding the issue themselves, so many footpaths are now labelled dual purpose foot / cycle path that it would be hard to fine somebody on any similar stretch of pavement.
My policy is 26" up I stay on the road, 20" (or riding with my kids) I stick to the pavement as their bikes are slow and far too unstable for the road.
Has anyone ever got into trouble riding a Uni on the pavement in the UK?

Aye, man. I was riding down (pavement of) Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow on sunday night on my onza 24", copper stopped me with a real nasty attitude and said to ride on the road or in the park. I said "are you seriously telling me to ride this thing on the road?" He said yes. I'v only been riding just over two months!
But if he wants me to ride on the road and cause mass disruption in my wake then so be it, I better buy a helmet!
i can't remember where i was but i was riding along a promenade thing by the beech because it was practically empty and that massive vast space of smooth tarmac was just so inviting... i did spot a sign saying no bikes but i'm a unicyclist 🙂 unfortuantly i got stopped by this warden guy who said no cycling allowed, i would have argued the case that the sign said no 'bikes' not 'unicycles' but seen the guy said 'cycling' i couldn't
