    I've never had issues with ducks :rotfl: Yesterday they didn't even look up from their afternoon nap as I passed close by them. Even a Heron remained on the canal bank as I passed within 4 feet of him. I must be very courteous.

    It's the squirrels that get me, they are total dicks!

    Sit in the path watching you then run one way only to switch directions at the last minute :mad:.

    No problems so far but then I'm pretty considerate.
    You can be the most considerate cyclist in the world but you will always come across the occasional Altarf.

    Never trust a squirrel. I ran a suicidal rat over. Hard to avoid, It ran out of long grass very close in front of me. It wasn't too bad though, the suspension coped well.

    You mean people that don't like idiot cyclists that deliberately ride into people on the pavement, like the two that outed themselves here.

    I wouldn't say that is the occasional person, but most people; obviously apart from cyclists who are 'special'.

    Thats great. Where's this cycle route that you consider perfect? Were you lying about it?

    Thats great.

    Glad you agree that cyclists are inconsiderate.

    What steps are you going to take to convince your fellow reprobates to be less obnoxious and anti-social.

    I don't agree, you made that up as well. Tell us where the cycle route is and I'll tell you how I get involved in other cyclists behaviour.

    I don't agree

    Do make up your mind.

    So are you now condoning the behavior of those cyclists who deliberately ride into pedestrians on footpaths.

    Utterly shocking when combined with the other two on here, the one who would like to and the one who has admitted to doing so.

    God, you're like a broken record.

    Do you have anything new to add to the discussion or are you just going to keep repeating the same (quite deliberately) misconstrued nonsense?
