Are you a Policeman?
Were they cycling in a sensible manner and giving way to pedestrians or were they a danger to everyone around them?
This really irritates me.
I walk to work generally and part is along a narrow/ winding footpath with clear no cycling signage. (Only a fewhundred yards, but cuts a lot off the walk)
I regularly see cyclists going down it. I enjoy my meander to work and walk the path assuming an idiot isn't about to approach me at 15 mph. Or worse still try to overtake me at that speed silently from behind.
My non-cycling friends can't understand why, when I do go in by bike, I use the road. They think I should cycle along the footpath and genuinely can't see a problem.
It's not rocket science.
I don't cycle on footpaths or motorways. Other routes I can pick and choose the best for me.
Anything else is just selfhishness I believe.
Why should you have the right to cycle somewhere illegal, just because you think you're being considarate?
