if i'm going somewhere with my girlfriend and she's on foot i usually ride at walking pace if there are not many people about. sometimes i go on the pavement if it's quicker or i can't get round. i don't know why people get so stressed, i take up less space on the pavement if i'm riding my bike rather than pushing it beside me.
