Just happened hours ago

I was with my girlfriend walking back from the beach and when we crossed the cycle pathway the cyclist riding a fast sports bike cursed at my girlfriend and then stopped to get off and park the bike IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BIKEPATH and then started shouting at us saying “look where you’re going!” and kept swearing. I told the man “don’t be so silly and rude you’re making a big deal out of nothing bro..” but he got mad and then called my girlfriend bad names. I’m a very calm person so I don’t want to hit people but I was getting angry. He ride the bike away after cursing and my girlfriend was sad. We ended up having a nice dinner though so the evening wasn’t ruined and she has forgotten already I hope so…

Why are bikers so rude!

If you’re crossing a cycle path at some random point then you have a duty of care to yourself to not cross someone else’s path. It’s common sense.

Pedestrian has right of way… cyclist shouldn’t be going so fast because they have the chance to hit someone… we could be injured right now and it would still be cyclist fault

The only sort of pedestrians I dislike are drivers, since they seem to imagine a forcefield around them when they just walk out of blindspots and the like.

You're sounding like one of those types, tbh.

I mix it up, really. I bike and walk places whenever I can. Even bus.

Just have some awareness of your surroundings. Like maybe don't walk directly into a bicyclist next time?
