I went for a gentle ride through Greenwich on a cycle path today and I seemed to be forever diverted off the cycle path because generously proportioned pairs of women with one babby buggy each had simultaneously decided that a cycle path was the cool place to be. Oh, and at least 15 oblivious iPlonkers who evidently didn't want to block up the walky parts of the pavement.
Oh, sorry, this thread's not Greenwich Moan Time....
God forbid one of these ladies giving you a ticking off for not being on the road lol, Ive seen the exact same thing happen elsewhere. Lady pushing a buggy along ON A CYCLE PATH cyclist almost runs her down despite his poor thumb going apesh!t crazy on his bell and shouting 'Excuse me' on his approach. Narrowly avoid a collision and lady drags cyclist off his bike for putting her baby in danger and says he should be on the road and not cycling on the pavement..... Sigh.....I dont think some people seem to understand what a cycle path is let alone what its for.
To add to the topic here.....
1 Bike to rule them all. my Hybrid is geared for all year round cycling. For snowy conditions though I will need a serious rethink about the tyres that i use and may just have to invest in a spare set of wheels for quick changes.
