Cycling on Pavements

It’s not a habit of mine, in fact about the only thing that’ll get me to ride on the pavement is when some ignorant Newport Bus driver decides to pull past me and pull as close to the kerb as possible (at a safe distance ahead, I’ll give him that much) so I can’t pass. Well HA to you sucker, I’m not that easily stopped!
For the record, it’s ok for a cycle or motorcycle to overtake on the inside provided it’s safe to do so in a queue of traffic, and as traffic is supposed to keep 3′ from the kerb if possible (and it was) he was just being an arrogant arsehole
