John Bull @garius.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The only thing that moves faster than some dickhead riding an e-bike on the pavement is the #notAllCyclists who will jump into the replies of a pedestrian who complains about it. 151415
John Bull @garius.bsky.social · 17/09/2026As a pedestrian, it is possible to think cars are the biggest problem in road safety WHILST ALSO not wanting to be run over by an e-bike. A person can contain multitudes. 101798
Simon Davis @sdglyph.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Having had my arm broken for me by a guy on an ebike a few months ago - in a pedestrianised area - I don't even find these ideas to be in tension. 020
GinGoddess @gingoddess.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This is very true. We have a few of those floating bus stops round here and the cyclists don't seem to realise that the pedestrian crossing applies to both bits of the road - the car bit AND the cycling bit. Also e-bike riders on their phone, so not looking where they are going 010
Martin @concretebadger.bsky.social · 17/09/2026To paraphrase someone on here who commented on this Discourse earlier this week: "there are some cyclists who treat pedestrians the way that some car drivers treat cyclists." 1281
CycloPandia @panda359.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I like to think that there are a percentage of arseholes out there and we just happen to categorise them by their current transportation mode when we have bad experiences (unless they happen to be a taxi driver obvs 😬) 020
kd5mdkillmonger @kd5mdk.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It’s easier to contain multitudes if they’re inserted at 30kph on a sidewalk. 010
Meher Oliaji - @mehero.bsky.social · 17/09/2026As a pedestrian I've no problem with cyclists using the road, and as a driver I've no problem with cyclists using the pavement. Unfortunately as a normal person i use both. 000
xsuxballz.bsky.social @xsuxballz.bsky.social · 17/09/2026100%. Pedestrians also create hazards for cyclists. For everyone's safety please don't walk in the middle of a bike path with earbuds in. Or in the middle of a street while a cyclist is passing someone walking on the side. Had both yesterday. Peds are just as dumb as cyclists and motorists. 130
John Andrews @jkaconductor.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I once tried to explain to a cyclist the basic principle that the rules were there to protect the weaker party in each instance. Didn’t seem complicated to me but he was very confused. 090
