do think running poses a greater risk to other pedestrians than cycling
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.
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.
