Frightening Persie. I wonder how many of those on mobility scooters have ever actually driven a car. Some of them seem to have no road sense at all. |

I don't always hear cyclists until they have whooshed past me, and am glad so far that I haven't been in wobble mode and stepped to the left or right as I am liable to do. I had two go either side of me the other day, but they were coming towards me and both of them had a second person on the bike (which is not allowed) and they were clowning around. |

I appreciate the difficulties of mobility scooter and electric wheel chairs, it must be a bit of a nightmare and it was nice today to be thanked twice by the same man for letting him through when shopping at the Range. What is annoying is the arrogance of some mobilty scooter users who think that they deserve to whoosh in front of me and others thus almost taking us with them. |

Perhaps if enough people were to complain to the Police/Local Coucil,things mey get done, or If they were fined for the offence and it was published ,maybe ,just maybe they would take notice. I had sa similar experience whilst walking Sasha alon the front, Cycling is allowed but pedestrians have precedence.He shouted at me to get out of his effing way, I did,nt he stopped and I told him in no uncertain terms to be careful or he would be wearing his bike as a neck ornament.needless to say he rode of muttering. :-D |

I was walking through Guildford town centre once when I heard a load of shouting and swearing behind me. When I turned round there was a man in his 50s , on a bike and he was shouting at ME. " get out of the f****** way " . |

Ann, you're too forgiving - cyclists should NOT be on the pavement - let alone racing on it! |

Four times in the last two days while walking either on the pavement or on the pedestrian side of a dual cycle/footpath I have almost been mown down. Fortunately I still manage to walk in a straight line besides being a 'silver surfer'. On the pavement yesterday, 3pm, schools out. Two teenage boys about 14/15 came past me really fast, concentrating on trying to out ride each other and shouting to each other, It was almost on a corner and the first I knew was (thankfully) I actually heard them yelling at each other as it is easy to cut the corner there when walking. It was good to see that they both wore helmets and the road is quite dangerous so I have no problem with them riding on the path at that point but With care! |
