Petition request
That the House of Representatives allow children aged 14 years and under and the adults accompanying them to cycle slowly on footpaths regardless of the wheel size of their bicycles.
Petition reason
I believe: it can be safer for children to cycle on footpaths than on the road; as long as they are cycling slowly children have time to avoid cars coming out of driveways and pedestrians; it is unfair that adults can ride e-scooters on busy footpaths but children are meant to cycle on the road; children already cycle on the footpath and the rules should be changed to reflect this.
