| Comment | Can't comment specifically on actions of cyclists you ran into yesterday, it may be they could have read the situation better to give way.
The underlying issue is that this section of riverside pavement is a shared use path, with cyclists and pedestrians allowed/encouraged to share the same regular width pavement.
Other shared paths are a bit better, in that they're much wider, but they're never ideal. This is a bad spot since much of it is regular pavement width. Signage is also very poor, and in my experience pedestrians (fairly) don't realise it's a shared space for cyclists, leading to misunderstandings and even confrontations.
The whole stretch needs to be redesigned with more space given either for the shared use path, or a segregated cycle path. |
