Should cycling be allowed on the pavement?

... I returned fire with obscenities matched only by Bismarck's main guns. Also gave the flying V over my shoulder as I could hear here continuing to mutter her pedantry as I cycled off.

My advice is next time, don't react. You sound like a right cockwomble.

I irritated a walker once. Anyway cycling along and there was said lady walking along canal path. I slow down and wait for opportunity to pass. Old lady heard me and moved to the side so I said "cheers" as I passed. No sooner had I thanked her she started ranting about how I should have made alerted her somehow. (clearly I did?). I returned fire with obscenities matched only by Bismarck's main guns. Also gave the flying V over my shoulder as I could hear here continuing to mutter her pedantry as I cycled off.

Same procedure, similar circumstances as when passing everybody else, yet spectacularly different attitude with this particular individual. I felt she hated cyclists so I had to try my best to justify that hatred. I bet her whole day was ruined lol! Because I know how some people get so upset over daft crap.

Wow! You don't come off well here. How much worse was this before it was edited by a moderator?

I think it was my reference to the other person involved that was removed. I didn't swear, but it wasn't particularly kind either. Sometimes something gets to me and I go a bit OTT (turn into a right cockwomble).
