Walking down botanic avenue on the kerb (student area of Belfast great park and cheap food) we hear cycle bell and braking behind us.
So this guy sorta forces himself through expecting people to get out of the way. I don't mind pavengers if they're careful / wait but this guy expects right of way.
I say to him "look if you want people to get out of the way, get on the road...kerbs are for peds"
But he's "not a car" and "you don't teach kids to cycle on the road". Told him he looked very young for six years of age 🙄
Confrontations rarely result in something but didnt feel like letting it slide on a busy kerb.
