Please excuse my ignorance but as someone who hasn't been on a bike since they pedaled around their housing scheme when they were 8yrs old can someone explain 2021 basic cycling etiquette to me?
I was walking down Barrhead Rd on Tuesday and keeping as close to inside as possible for potentially folk flying along on bikes but just past the entrance to Cowglen golf club a lot of the hedges stick really far out so you have to kinda step out sometimes to get past them and not have thorns shred your eyelids but in doing so a guy on his bike nearly clipped me and he starts swinging his arms about and pointing as if its me that's in his way. He may of had a bell but I had my headphones in but I felt like it was me getting in the way and now I cant walk that long stretch of road listening to music because I cant hear cyclists coming which is a bit shite.
Should they have been using the road? its 2 lanes and plenty wide considering its a B road |
