>>If cars are liable for running over cyclists then cyclists must be liable for running over pedestrians.
replyThey are though(at least here in the UK) - a guy was convinced of manslaughter for hitting a pedestrian on a bike just last month. In general the rule is that the person in charge of a bigger/heavier vehicle is the responsible party in almost all collisions.
And when you must walk with your small dog on a section of road where suddenly high speed e-cyclists zoom past you, now that's constant terror. At times you really get killer ideas.
replyOn the other hand, I hate it when I'm on my bike on a bike path, and someone walks their dog, leash fully extended across the bike path, they are looking down on their phone and wearing headphones. Absolute selfishness.
replyOn bike paths, totally agree with you. On shared paths, nobody owes you that speed.
reply...what speed? No one mentioned any speed.
