I'm happy to slow to a stop if needed, I did a few days ago going across tooting bec on the shared path, was a todler barely able to stand and walk out of his pram having a stagger about but that's about as safe a place as he could.
Most people if you do slow right down then feel embaressed that they are an obstruction so say sorry then I just reply to reasure them it's no trouble at all and ride off. Some even if you slow down will still spout something about dangers but I just ignore those ones.
Can't understand why you would ride around advertising that you are a danger to others, just correct your riding style.
