A MAN was forced to pay £805 after being caught cycling on the pavement.
Rowan White, of Colwell Road, Berinsfield, rode a bike on the pavement in Marcham Road, Abingdon, on October 16.
The 28-year-old pleaded not guilty to the offence in November but was found guilty in his absence at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on January 29.
He was fined £150 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £30. White was also made to pay court costs of £625.
It is an offence to drive a carriage on 'any footpath or causeway by the side of any road made or set apart for the use or accommodation of foot passengers.'
