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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

and the only good pedestrians are those that are cyclist. Likewise the best

are those with bike racks attached to the car. <u1:p></u1:p></span></font></i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
