    As a countryside walker, I am fearful of cyclists who come up behind me, and guess where I am going to be in the next few seconds before overtaking. Many don't use or even have a bell. I think it is natural to walk along country footpaths, not always in a rigid straight line, but sometimes veering slightly to the left or right to admire a view or a flower which my grandchild is pointing out. One day I fear a cyclist, of which I am unaware, will guess wrong, and will collide with me. Perhaps some are reluctant to sound a bell on a footpath as it might seem impolite, but it's better than a collision.

    The best thing to do is to walk in a straight line to the side of the path. If you want to change direction, just glance over your shoulder first.

    I saw a guy in New York with a car horn on his bike, it certainly drew attention to him

    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.
