[bikeqld] Coro Drive - oh goody

[Yani]

I've seen a few cyclists do things I wouldn't do but they managed them with
style and showed skill.

 

The point more being that cyclists make better drivers and pedestrians when
they are in that role.

 

The group who are the most ignorant are the 'only' people. Only use a car
and never walk, only walk and never use a car and just as likely 'only
cycle' although that would be one tiny tiny demographic.

 

Then there is group as in pack mentality. Likely a pack of cyclists is as
bad as any pack of anything human. 

 

I can say that as a pedestrian I've never had an issue ever with a cyclist.
And the reason??? I give them a bit of space. Nor do I have issues with
cyclists when I'm a car driver. If only the reverse was true.

Sorry Yani but I must differ. I only occasionally see bad pedestrian
behaviour there but see silly cyclists on that path every day. But I feel
that it is mostly just boorish behaviour rather than downright dangerous.
You do encounter the odd bloody-minded pedestrian. There are very few actual
incidents when you consider how much traffic there is.

Arr Hello it's the BIKEWAY PROJECT not the brain dead dumb arse I won't move
over ignorant pedestrian and here is a funny look project. Maybe things
without wheels should use the footpath on Coronation Drive.

 

I've seen a hell of a lot more ignorant pedestrian than ignorant cyclist.
Cyclist aren't looking to come off the bike trust me. It's high time
pedestrian behavior was addressed as totally sub standard and the Courier
Mail stopped inferring some right of stupidity to them. I can tell you for a
fact that pedestrian behavior is completely ignorant and the only good
pedestrians are those that are cyclist. Likewise the best drivers on the
road who don't try to go out of their way to knock off cyclists are those
with bike racks attached to the car. 

 

High time the Courier Mail stopped beating up cyclists and took on the real
idiots.
