if you're a cyclist you just can't win lol
I always cycle on the pavement. it's less busy than the road most of the time and if there's someone in front of me I ring my bell to alert them just in case
If I'm walking on the pavement and a cyclist rings their bell to make me get out of their way, I'm gonna get mad
I know cars suck. But you're meant to cycle on the road - You're not supposed to cycle on the pavement. I don't care if you do if the road is horrible, fair play, but ringing your bell at me? It's my right of way, so no thanks
Cycling on the pavement can be a lot safer. people on bikes have been knocked over by buses and cars when they're cycling on the road. i ring my bell if there's someone in front of me walking with their back turned and can't see me
Cyclists ringing their bell at pedestrians on the pavement is like cars honking their horns at cyclists in a bike lane
It's not your space, so don't impose on the people using it properly
I'm sorry that roads can be bad for cyclists, but making the pavement bad for pedestrians isn't the answer
