The school holidays have started and Brigg children are out and about in the fresh air, which is good.
However, if this afternoon is anything to go by, watch out for bikes when you are walking about the town centre, doing a spot of shopping.
In our day we daren't ride on pavements for fear of being observed by policemen who could be encountered on the beat even in our housing estates.
Times have changed, of course, and now we can't get a good many adult drivers to take any notice of the pedestrian zone restrictions, never mind expecting bike-riding youngsters to dismount in the town centre.
All we can ask is that the youngsters keep an eye out for pedestrians and those of us on foot watch for approaching cyclists.
We hope the summer will pass without anyone sustaining injuries - riders and pedestrians.
