do think running poses a greater risk to other pedestrians than cycling, small paths and is a more common exercise along with walking, meaning most paths are actually quite busy
While out cycling there were two occasions where I was close to someone, once when someone started crossing the road before I had even passed yet and at a red light / busy cross road. Out walking there does seem to be more times where being 2m from someone is nearly impossible and more occasions of people being inconsiderate.

it's a visibility thing too-every time I go to the shops there's some terminal mouthbreather almost humping my leg, or the scabby parent letting their kids hoof around on their scooter/balance bike inside the shop. These people are a fucking menace, but how can you ban them?
Joggers should at least hold their breath if squeezing past people, but again, we're trying to moderate the human condition. Times were simpler when everyone lived in walled cities you could just board up and wait till everyone copped it.

Members of the public have been putting up pissy handwritten signs telling joggers to back off and keep their distance near us. I was a bit surprised to see this because it generally feels like the vast majority of people are distancing well around here.
I guess people like to find a group to grumble about.

loads of people going mental about joggers running about panting on them. Will jogging be banned?
