was it my fault?
shared 2.5 m wide divided (by a large white line and clearly marked cycle markings) over a foot bridge (by which i mean it is only this path, no road or anything or i'd have been on the road)
the path leading to it is much wider, and as such i take it a little quicker before braking onto the bridge, down to about 5mph the bridge is sloped so i have to drag the brakes to keep a slow speed
i slow down more to actually pass people on the bridge and am on the brakes anyway when a woman walked right into my path from across the line, i bumped into her at a similar pace to two people walking into each other
no one was hurt and she apologised quite quickly saying it was her fault
so even though she claimed responsibility, was it my fault? had i been going any slower than the speed i was trying to hold myself to i would not be able to balance
