Public Service Announcement to All Pedestrians
« on: May 25, 2009, 11:47:28 am »
Cyclists,  put your gripes about pedestrians in here.

I'll start!  I hate pedestrians because they walk too slowly and cut me off when I'm cutting through the crosswalk when I 'm avoiding the left turn lane.

Well played!

I hate it when pedestrians walk 2 or more abreast on a bike path seeming oblivous to riders.

Come to the Beaches where they walk 3-5 abreast on the bike path when the BOARDWALK is only 10 feet away.

Don't let your children play on the bike path, IE: colour, catch, tag.

Look both way before crossing a bike path just like you should with the road.

Keep your dog beside you and not 20 feet away on a lead so people will trip or worse on your leash.

Leash your pet as they will chase that bird/squirrel on day and crash with somebody or worse, a car (I actually saw this and had to chase down the owner to tell them their dog just got run over as they had no clue, what an swerver).

Joggers, DO NOT RUN IN THE MIDDLE.....EVER!

A subwoofer should only be noticed once it has been turned off.

Please do not run across the road without looking, a bicycle doesn't make much noise, it can hurt you badly and the rider.

Be extra vigilant with your children when crossing the street, do not let them go. Bicycles are often coming from wrong side on one way streets.

Do not step off the sidewalk at an intersection before your signal, a bicycle or car is most likely going to turn.

On a two way bike path, preferably walk facing the bicycles coming your way, so you know whats coming.
