No old ladies ride their bikes along this path .I had taken my speed off when i got to the group it was the suddeness of the action and wet leaves that had me off. Any way Im wasting my time here knew there was a reason I did not post in commuting very often.

One of the first lessons in life is that not everyone agrees with you all the time. It sounds to me like you were going too fast around pedestrians here, and pedestrians can be unpredictable at the best of times. Imagine the uptroar if someone had posted a similar tale involving a car and a crowd of cyclists.

You tried to bluff a bunch of kids. You got it wrong and ended up on your arse in front of them. Stop digging a hole for yourself here and get on with your life.

That should save anyone reading the previous four pages.

On my commute this morning on route for a PB. Ends along a cycle path was riding a little later today caught kids going to school.

Anyway comming round curve onto straight huge group of the scumbags blocking the path about 200m in front. they could see me comming shouted excuse me , didn t move locked everthing up off I came.

They found this very amusing I obviously didn t proceded to lose my rag and I lost it big time. They thought twice about it and decided to leg it.

I shouldn t have acted as I did but when you ve just knocked out 40 miles in the p---ing rain, and that happens think I was entitled to a bit of ranting dont you!

AIRZOUND.............

Slow down, ring bell and politely ask, you can now safely assume they haven't heard you...... then the AirZound at point blank range is fair game and the ensuing "Funky Pedestrian" ruins their street cred brilliantly!

You are if you want sympathy for riding too fast past kids on a shared-use path, yes.

I ve thought about this since the incident, but my mind goes back to that incident in the papers where that guy killed that girl by riding at her. I wouldnt do that sort of thing even if sometimes I. feel they might deserve it. Can I just repeat high speed was not an issue here.

I wondered if I should bring this up and decided not to. But since you have...

He wasn't riding at her. He was aiming for a gap between the kids and the kerb but she stepped into the gap. He hit her, she went over, knocked her head on the kerb and died from the injuries caused to her head from the impact with the kerbstone; so the story that he'd ridden at her deliberately and killed her is not very fair. Of course, he could have stopped to let them all cross safely or cycled past them on the other side of the road but perhaps he felt that they were mucking him about deliberately or even posed a real threat to him.

The point is that unless you give way to annoying peds in the road then things can go very wrong. Even if they are being total scrotes and deserve a fright just chill. Be the gro-nup.
