I don...Hey, I didn't realise you had commented. I don't log into this site all that often. Just keep walking in the same direction. The bike will take care of itself, it is the faster moving object and you will only confuse the rider if you walk into his path or try to go around him when he has already decided to go around you. Footpaths are different. Guess they should have bells. The bike has seen you. It is behind you. It will take the necessary steps. Or cycles. That's the theory, anyway.lizardrinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631267904133624562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848358410529477558.post-86760324749876732010-03-03T06:23:00.830+08:002010-03-03T06:23:00.830+08:00'Bicycles are not allowed on footpaths', a...'Bicycles are not allowed on footpaths', a ha, ha, ha, ha! ;-) Mirthful laughter. Where I live in Australia that does not stop bicycles *being* on the footpath. In fact, I'm forever leaping out of their way. Last night I almost got plowed down twice by bikes and once by a scooter in one block. I think some of the riders choose the footpath so that they can ride helmet-less. <br /><br />At traffic lights, waiting to cross the road, even if I have a green light I wait until the bike-on-the-road actually stops before I'll cross. (I will confess to terrible skill at road-crossing and footpath walking however, all my fault.) <br /><br />However, I *do* know what you mean and I agree with your sentiments. Make it easy, otherwise people won't do it. Also, you rarely see anyone over 55-ish on a bike here.MeanderingMelbournenoreply@blogger.com
