Unfortunately, bad cyclists seems to get more press. I remember one morning heading<br>to work to find a girl knock of her bike because of some pedestrian changing direction without checking whether there was anyone behind her. I still see joggers who <br>make U-turn without warning. Even if you riding at 10kph, you can't stop on a dime.<br><div> </div>Anthony Lee<br>The Doctor -- the last of the Time Lords?<br>........-- __o <br>....-- _ \<,_<br>........(_) / (_) <br>E-Mail: doctorw1963@yahoo.com.au<div><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2"

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. </div><div><br>Mick Fanning</div><div><br>On 05/05/2009, at 4:30, "Yani" <<a rel="nofollow"

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. </span></font></i></b></p>
