Cretins

For the second day running, I have been biking along a cycle path with a person walking along it in front of me, who I have warned about my approach with a friendly 'ting ting' of my bell. Both times, without looking behind them, said person moved directly into the path I was taking around them.

These people appear to believe that they are psychic. In both cases they proved beyond reasonable doubt that they were not.

If you are somebody who suffers from this delusion, please spare a thought for the poor cyclist who has to crash into a bush at 20mph to avoid maiming you; look behind you before you take 'evasive' action.

Or better still, don't walk on cycle paths. See that white symbol that looks a bit like a bike? It means it's not for you.
