The Thames Path Hammersmith & Fulham PSPO has changed?
There was a big fuss about this proposed Public Spaces Protection Order banning pedelecs from the Thames Path last year, and using language around "E-bikes" - which don't exist in law.
Report last year: https://road.cc/content/news/e-bikes-and-e-scooters-be-banned-part-thame...
H&FReport last year https://democracy.lbhf.gov.uk/documents/s124756/Thames%20Path%20PSPO.pdf
It now includes a blanket exception allowing "EAPCs" on the Thames Path, which is all legal electric bicycles.
It now says:
Now, it says (the global exemption for EAPCs wasn't there before iirc):
"Exemptions apply to:
- Disabled people and anyone with long term health conditions or restricted mobility who uses an electric powered vehicle as a mobility aid
- parents or caregivers using electric powered bike to transport children. The child must be present for this exemption to apply
- electrically assisted pedal cycles (EAPC)"
https://www.lbhf.gov.uk/crime/community-safety-team/public-spaces-protec...
Originally the proposal had an exception for e-bikes carrying children, which meant that when Jemima or Napoleon had dropped off Chardonnay at the nursery, it suddenly becomes a crime for them to cycle back home on the Thames Path the way they had come.
It's still half-gormless - that middle para lets e-mopeds in, since all e-bicycles should be EAPCs anyway.
Does anyone know what happened?

You could well be right. Personally, I think Avonvale Rd is just a disaster for having two way traffic. So many drivers think the traffic calming...

Meh, he said "about" 75psi which is fair enough - ETRTO use 5 bar (72.5psi) as the limit, so 75psi is well within the error margin of the gauge on...
