But you probably hate them for different reasons.
One thing they tend to have in common is the belief that they personally own the road their on.
Same can be said about pedestrians and cyclists on shared multi-use paths.
I find it mad how many pedestrians actually apologise to me whenever i have to slow down and follow them waiting for a suitable gap to overtake.
Large groups of joggers on the other hand? Fuck them - bikes and other pedestrians just have to stop and get out of the way when such a large mob of freaks hoves into view - I’ll normally try to get on the road in that case.
Had a pedestrian moan at me the other day for not using my bell… For what? I was behind her going at near walking speed because right in front was a blind corner. No chance at attempting to take that at speed and she was blocking the path anyway.
My intent was to wait going slowly until around the corner and then overtake her using the wider bike lane that opens up after the corner. But she just kept going on and on about me not having a bell.
