This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It is already an offence to ride a bicycle on the pavement (s72 of the Highway Act 1835), for which the maximum penalty is considerably more than £30. So there is no action for the Government to take to bring this measure in.
