[QUOTE 1982470, member: 45"]I've highlighted the important word. It doesn't match the command in your second sentence......[/quote]
Therefore it's good advice! Why would anyone want to walk in the road putting themselves and others in danger, when a safe pavement is available.? All this "it's their right" and "they can do as they want" attitude isn't beneficial to cyclists surely?! Most road walkers i've encountered have been hard to see until the last seconds, and walking near to the middle rather than the sides of the road. To hit one at even a slow pace will result in injury or distress to both parties. Yet some seem to want to defend reckless, unnecessary walking on something that isn't either designed for or is safe to do so.

I've cycled a whole load more than that, and never felt the need to intimidate pedestrians. You're a small man in search of a sad little thrill at somebody else's expenseI have to watch out constantly for these idiots who wander round unaware of their surroundings. If i hit them we both end up injured! Buzzing them teaches them a lesson. What would you do, apologise for being on a bike in the first place? Just because you've posted 27,000+ messages it doesn't mean that you've cycled 27,000+ miles does it(?!)
And how long until they are spotted and thrown out again.
Might I suggest you speak to Admin and/or look up in a dictionary what ''left'' and ''banned'' both mean?
Cheers champ.
damn your eyes, Norm........I wish I'd written that!
I'm not doubting you, but the CTC shafted Home Counties Cycling........there aren't many knights in shining armour around

Wow and you feel so much safer with your little gang beside you i take it? You know zilch about me so please keep your insults down eh!
why on earth are you riding around a park?I had another buzzing experience yesterday, but to be fair i did ask the old biddies to walk on the pavement provided, and i passed them at 4 or 5 foot, not too close. However as i did another lap of the park they ignored my polite request and continued to walk complete with their pooches on the road(2 abreast), i don't know why some choose to do this but it's very annoying as they're putting others at risk.
One of my excuse the pun, pet hates is when dog walkers launch one of those balls propelled by a plastic scoop/stick into the road because "well there aren't any cars about", then their stupid hard to see black labrador runs into my path only for them to say "Watch out Max, we don't want you getting hit by that bike". Well if you don't want "Maxie" getting hit why launch a ball for the dumn creature into the bloody road in the first place then? Do they think that bikes are made out of rubber maybe?
Listen to yourself.

Because it's relatively flat and flat is hard to find around here. If i go around 20 times it's 16 miles add that to 14 miles of hills and i'm happy!
it's a big gang. A really big gang. And you don't get to join until the training wheels come off the bike
good grief! Heaven help you if you wind up in the Pyrenees!

I certainly won't miss all the politics in cycling if we decide to quit completely.
