There's annoying cyclists going too fast on some NI towpaths as well, leading to conflicts.

I've been on local radio to chat about Dutch cycle lanes when that towpath annoyance came up years ago in Belfast.
I explained you have similar problems on Dutch cycle lanes (groups of roadies doing 25 mph expecting others to clear the way...) so it's not a cyclist vs pedestrian issue perse. Some people just can't play nice.
I said I thought annoyances are unavoidable and turning into conversations where people are having a pop at whole groups (cyclist vs peds) is not very helpful and that you always remember the nasty ones, not the majority of considerate cyclists.
Now if that stuck...I don't know.
