@Skülly, all of that makes much sense apart from the fact that the adults who invariably want to ride on the footway decide to ride much faster than they should. If you're not riding at the pace of the pedestrians around you (obviously if it's clearer you can go faster) then you're doing it wrong.
Everytime a pedestrian jumps out of my way when I'm rolling up behind them on a shared pathway, makes me want to apologise to them for every other cyclist whose afraid of traffic whose decided to smash it past them (sweeping generalisation I know).
Cycle at the pace of everyone around you whilst on the footway, and you're golden, otherwise hit the road, or slain it...
