Outside my house there are two lanes of traffic heading East. Still 50% of the cyclists insist on cycling on the pavement, just a bit further on there are railings at the edge of the pavement, which then means the cyclists shout "out of the way" at pedestrians.
I have to walk along this bit of pavement with my dads dog and tend not to give way to idiots cycling there.
This morning I see a middle aged man cycling on the pavement.
"Are you aware there is a road there?"
he looks confused
"Can you see there are two lanes of traffic in your direction?
-"Yes"
"You know only children are meant to cycle on the pavement?"
-"Yes"
"So are you not man enough to cycle on the road?"
cue the noise of frustrated rage and shame
