This post was directly under your bike post. No one has ever posted about bikes ever on my dashboard but this can't be coincidence. Also. Love that you found a new fun thing!

😭😭THIS IS HOW IT FEELS!! Especially if I can’t look behind me and I can hear cars coming up… it’s like, please sir or ma’am I’m just trying to live… look how cute I am peacefully riding my bike, you want me to have a nice day, you don’t want to hit me with your car

To know a place, you must move through it.

Cyclists please ring your bell before passing pedestrians on shared footpaths I beg of you. If you don’t have a bell you really need to get one. This is goes for any pedestrian but especially if you’re passing someone who is disabled.

I use a wheelchair and so many cyclists either pass me silently or try to announce their presence by yelling at the last minute and it’s not just impolite, it’s potentially dangerous.

Without a bike bell I do not know you are coming. I cannot hear you coming over the noise of my wheelchair (which is almost identical to a bike noise. I don’t know you’re there at all until you’re already passing me. Even if I’m at the side of the path already, I need to know you are there so I don’t move into your path last minute (for example to avoid a tree root or dog poo).

Just yelling isn’t enough for me to know you’re a cyclist and act accordingly, even if you yell “cyclist” or something similar. For me, my headrest muffles sounds coming from behind me or to the side so I will not be able to figure out if you’re even talking to me let alone what you’ve said in time to move out the way safely. If I hear a bike bell I know immediately to move to one side of the path to let you past.

Best practice as far as I am concerned is to sound your bell with plenty of warning allowing me to move to the side of the path if I can. And, if you are able to, as you’re getting up to overtaking state loudly and clearly which side you’re passing on.
