If there's a path with a lot of pedestrians on it, I don't think it's unreasonable that cyclists are expected to get off their bike and walk like everybody else.
I had my jaw fractured because some speeding JustEat delivery man came blasting through a pedestrian area of Newcastle on his bike, clearly not paying attention.
It was very painful, I have a scar on my face, I couldn't work or eat comfortably for a while.
Man, that sounds rough. I hope you're okay now. I suppose the rider got away?
Those delivery riders with their often illegal e-bikes are a scourge. They're like that in London too. I've seen them on pavements with their throttle modded bikes, even though we have both a bus lane and a cycle lane.
Oh yeah he got away and wasn't identified
I'm fine now, it was a few years ago. I just have an ugly scar I'm a bit self conscious about
Couldn't agree more, bikes belong on the road not on pedestrian pavements!
These delivery drivers are a fucking scourge as well. I have had a few run ins this year with them driving their mopeds through pedestrian areas.
I hope the council do clamp down on this bullshit behaviour but also invest in cycling infrastructure too. I'm lucky where I live has a pretty good network of cycle paths but it is still lacking.
A bit of white paint to put cycle lanes in the pedestrianised roads would resolve this.
