Just like some car drivers feel entitled to "own" the road and feel that if they hit a cyclist, it was the cyclist at fault, also some cyclists feel entitled to "own" the shared pedestrian and cycle paths, and occasionally hit pedestrians and then blame the pedestrians.
- drran 5y agoEven pedestrians occasionally hit pedestrians and then blame pedestrians. Very high maneuverability makes pedestrians unpredictable. The only way to avoid a collision with a pedestrian is to keep distance between you and a pedestrian, or accept that they will step right in front of your bike sometimes, or hit you on the side, when you're passing them slowly, or bump into you, when you're standing or walking with a bicycle. When on foots, I can avoid a collision with another pedestrian easily, but when I'm on a bike, I cannot do that, even when I drive at pedestrian speed.
