Why do peds always give you a mouthful?

[wait4me]

A few months ago I spent some time on Cycleways around Ferry Meadows Peterborough. After getting dirty looks from peds when I didn't ring my bell (yes sad but it is useful) and other times similar looks when I didn't. One time I slowed to speak to a Dad with pushchair for a chat and said about this dilema. Turned out he was a cyclist and said he had similar problems---Is it me, Peterboro' or peds?

I've tootled around said pathways and most folk seemed okay, although I did get some mufty looks when cycling up and down the tow path by the actual rowing lake. I tried to go cycling there again at Christmas but the entire site was under water!

Although I mostly stay on road, I do occasionally go along paths (the rowing lake path most often) and I have no problem with the Peterborough Peds. Although with some of the idiots on bikes (ninjas, footpath cyclists and aggressive cyclist, etc), I'm not surprised that some have negative images of cyclists; the Bridge Street petition is a typical example.

Its dried out for now

The older I get, the less I know, I know.

Same here. At the ripe old age of almost 40, I've even given up lecturing teenagers on their insistence that they know everything - for all I know, they might do
