Well I never!!! I thought if i was going to be hit, then it woudl be by a bendy bus while on the road while riding my bike, not walking 2meters out of the office door along the pavement to the gym and hit from behind by a bike! At speed mind you!! I wsa on the road side too and he came on the inside, no noise nothing!

ok, well it didnt hit me, but knocked my bag off my shoulder. It then sped across the road onto the opposite pavement nearly hitting several more people before disapearing into hte distance. I didnt even have time to get my wits about me to say in a thick scotish accent, "pavements are for 5 year olds!" . he didnt care to look around or seem to be aware of anyone else. he must have been about 20, student type. Half expected to see being chased by a T1000! total twit!! will post a pic of the junction so it makes more sense of how dangerous it was.

Loads of students, and 'other grubby' folk riding bikes on pavements near Man Uni's.....as a biker, it's something I don't do.... even getting out of the bike compound, I give way to all peds as I get to the road.....and even say thanks if they move over seeing me doing 1 mph (have to ride in ped areas to get to road).....

I have yet to say anything to an idiot doing this though....cos they have usually gone, and aged about under 20, don't think there is anything wrong with it......
