An interesting position exists in Scotland in that the Land Access laws
define a bike as an aid to pedestrianism (or some equivalent wording) hence
allowing bikes on mountain tracks. I wonder if anyone has used that as a
justification for cycling on the road footpaths.

As usual Scotland has more sensible laws. England actually treats
bicycles
like cars!

And so they should be. Except for children up to, say, 14.

I can run close to the speed to what I can cycle at. When running am I
treated as a car?

You can't be able to cycle very fast!

I was talking about comfortable speeds, not racing speeds.

Then compare walking with cycling.

I can comfortably cycle faster than I can uncomfortably run, as most
cyclists can. You must be the exception.
