I AM writing about cyclists riding bikes on pavements in Winnington, Castle and Northwich.

Recently, I was walking along the top of Cromwell Road with a pram, and two children aged 12 and 13.

When we rounded the corner I was told to ‘get out of the ****ing way’ by some cyclists.

I did not get out of the way and the bikers went onto the road, giving me an abusive wave.

I carried on until I was at the Iron Bridge, when a bike came from the Blind Shop and straight across the road.

If I had been four steps in front, the pram would have gone over and the child hurt.

Next day, I was walking along the pavement to the crossing at the bottom of Castle Hill at about 7.30am, when a bike came along the wrong side of the road crossed over and knocked me.

I went to the police station to report it, but the desk sergeant said that Northwich roads are not good for bikes so the police turn a blind eye to it. She also advised not to confront the bikers.

After leaving the police station, I went onto Witton Street and was knocked by two bikes going very fast.

On returning to the police station the following night, the same desk sergeant was on duty. I told her what had happened and she explained that there was nothing the police could do.
