| Comment | I cycle this path and ring my bell every time but it mostly just gets ignored. Every cyclist, pedestrian, car driver... Makes the occasional mistake and then every group has their share of cunts. I got shouted at in loch Lomond even though I'd rang my bell and the group had blocked the entire path. They just didn't hear me. I still slowed down so no danger. The only justified cyclist hate is on the deliveroo drivers that cycle dangerously fast in pedestrian areas.
The only thing that'll actually fix this is getting decent cycle lanes. Bicycles aren't suited for shared space with cars or pedestrians but we're forced into them and then as a cyclist in a pedestrian area you need to be more cautious by going slow and ringing your bell. Good luck getting cars to be more cautious around cyclists as there are points in the city I just avoid now. |
