Your fabled perfect cycle route appears imaginary unless you can prove otherwise.

I have mentioned before a wanabee organ donor I pass in the mornings who instead of riding down a perfectly designed £2.5 million cyclepath requested by Sustrans and designed by them, instead takes a longer route down a busy A road (and doesn't bother with high viz either).

Why would I need to when there is one person posting here who does cycle into pedestrians on purpose and one who would like to.

Can't believe that you still insist that, if there a 4 or 5 pedestrians spread across the whole path, fully aware that there is a cyclist heading towards them, and refusing to allow him room to pass, despite the cyclist slowing almost to a stop, that it is the cyclist who is in the wrong, not the pedestrians. :eek:

Would it be the same if it was someone on a mobility scooter?

Do pedestrians have total ownership of the shared paths and only allow cyclist under sufferance?

There are a lot of things I can't believe about Altarf. :rotfl:

Rather like I can't understand the stupidity that would make someone think that cycling into someone on a footpath was sensible.

It's impossible to take him seriously at this stage.

Walking into a cyclist isn't too clever either. Where's the cycle route you believe is perfect? Are you refusing to say because you know you will be proved wrong?

Altarf, you're a '*greenwalder'. You don't bother about context or subsequent clarification. You just go with what you want to believe someone means because it suits your prejudicial view of that person.

*Greenwalding - Cherry picking content then spinning it out of context in order to defame someone. Named after lawyer/author Glenn Greenwald.

Prejudicial, no.

Simply picking up on the fact that one cyclist on the board says they would like to cycle into pedestrians on a footpath and the other says they have cycled into pedestrians on a footpath.

...ignoring context, subsequent explanations and clarifications.

You KNOW you're being disingenuous and dishonest in your interpretation of what has been said. And everyone else on the thread knows it.

Why make a laughing stock of yourself? It's rather sad - suggests you're lonely.
