Whenever I ride my bike, I’m really scared of grannies (and grandpas) on e-bikes. They have no concept of speed, no situational awareness and no control. Just like with cars, but you’re not even safe on cycle paths.
Aside rom Cars my grief always and every time comes from pedestrians with dogs. Dogs on one side of the path, owner on the other, with a taut leash between them, multiple dogs and twisted leads, large dogs with older small woman owners who are unable to control them and they get pulled along where the dog wants to go Dig taking a shit in the middle if the path while I wait this morning for another example.
Just this morning on a shared path, 3 lots of people with dogs that were unable to control them properly necessitating me swerving off the path or coming to a complete stop while they try to get the shit show of crossed or twisted leads sorted. This does not mean all dogs and owners but a significant %.
