How many shared bicycle/ped paths have you ridden.

Most of the ones in Sydney.

Ring a bell or sound a horns or hout to advise you're passing and instant
bike stand as they jump in front of you.

Funny, I find they move over quite politely.


Ride wide around them and they mouth off like the dumb gfskers they are.

Never happened.


And I'm only a gentle plodder. There are some really dumb peds around and
that is before you encounter the headphone brigade.

I have sometimes found someone who can't hear the bell, but it is very
seldom and there's usually a way around them.
