What I do protest strongly about is the lack of enforcement of basic courtesy and road rules. Pedestrians still outnumber cyclists in the area, yet repeatedly adults and teenagers race past pedestrians without ringing their bells, at breakneck speed, and without the common courtesy of saying 'thank you' when we move off the path to let them through. How many pedestrians need to be knocked over before council or the police start enforcing speed limits, the wearing of helmets, clear signage and fining those who don't possess bells on their bikes or lights at night. Will it take a fatality before this council acts and ensures the safety of its frail and elderly who also like to use paths in parks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
