No we don't. Case law dictates this. The fact that we are on a bike and peds are walking means they have ultimate priority- always. Especially. In. Parks. And. On. Shared. User. Paths.
I don't see how I or anyone else can make it any clearer.

you haven`t made it any clearer - rights/priority two different words, two different meanings

he might have a point. If he's willing to learn I'm happy to apologise for being a bit heavy handed. It just didn't look that way earlier in the thread ...
Oh come on as soon as anyone disagrees with him and calls him on something he says he calls it bullying! A rather strange attitude from someone who posts videos of him knocking people down.
come on now at least someone is getting friendly, I am what I am, I can`t change what I have done but I can change what I do
I could put all my recent vids on youtube of how I am riding now & show everyone how I`ve improved but they will be so boring
not only that I really don`t need to prove anything to anyone only myself
if i`m wrong I won`t dwell on it
It`s alway better to tell someone off in 30 secs. rather than 5 minutes as it makes them bitter

Dear, dear , dear, so Mr Angry, calm down & have some
I would love to think you have changed I really would. Since our opinion of you was born from your videos maybe posting some new ones showing how your riding has improved could be the answer.
I would be delighted to see you ride slowly past pedestrians as you give a wave and a smile.

if thats a offer of a extended hand I will do as soon as I have sorted them out
It is indeed. If you have changed than I am happy to change my opinion of you.

Here in Vancouver, there is a war against cyclist. Ped and Cars vs Cyclist. As a new cyclist I was a bit put-off by the fact that I must ride in the street or face a fine. I'm scared of those cars! I'm slowly starting to get used to it but in a big city I know it's inevitable that I will be hit by a car. I've already had a few close calls. Also as a pedestrian in this city, it's annoying to have people on bikes try to mow you down. While in a car, many cyclist refuse to obey traffic rules. It has been a real pain in that regards but we must find some way to coexist peacefully.

Is cycle coaching available. Someone who can teach defensive cycling?

I presume you mean when you are in a car you see cyclists not obeying traffic rules. (Sorry, pedant's my middle name.)
Anyway, I thought Vancouver was one of North America's few dream cycling cities - it's even (in the context of this thread) got the brilliant Seawall, where cyclists and pedestrians are segregated and everyone's happy (or so it seemed on my visit a couple of years ago)!

The politicians goals are to reduce car usage and get more people cycling and walking. Great goals mind you, but a lot of people are very upset that the city is putting in cycling lanes in crowded city streets. Change doesn't come easily I suppose. You are right, though, Canada is a much better cycling country than the USA. It's pretty dangerous being a cyclist in most places in the states. At least here, you get some kind of support.

Yes, there are and I think I will be taking advantage of that this summer. We have lots of people here that don't know how to drive. We have a family friend that immigrated from a country where people don't have to obey traffic laws. I fear for my life when I'm in his car and I have no doubt in my mind that he would run over a cyclist and not realize it. haha
