Incident type: Pedestrian

With the proliferation of personal listening devices, situational awareness has taken the back seat. The pedestrian could care less that he was unaware of his surroundings, and on a shared use path, he was oblivious to other users. I yelled, “On your left,” twice to no avail. In the end, I almost went off the concrete path.

2 idiots with skakeboards blocking bike lane, one of them not looking where they are going. I would have crashed into her if her friend did not warn her i was approaching in bike lane.

Cycling down from Yabitsu summit a runner starts to cross the white line to get to the other side of the road while not ensuring that he is clear. I had to filter between an oncoming vehicle and the runner that had zero situational awareness.

Riding along a quiet single track country lane I saw a couple walking either side of the road. I dinged my bell repeatedly, eventually the male responded with a wave. There then followed a great deal of indecision as to who was going to stand where. At the last minute the guy moved back into my path. I see this all the time when pedestrians think it is safer to stand either side of the road instead of on one side. He shouted I should slow down! Moving at 23mph is not exactly fast, again people think anyone cycling at over 10 mph is dangerous. This was a road not a footpath.

Being pranked and filmed by pedestriants – but they were not the only ones with a camera.
