It is simply not a place where cyclists or e-scooterists should be travelling at speed. Rather, as a common courtesy, those on wheels need to be travelling slow enough to safely navigate through these wandering pedestrians and other unpredictable hazards – even those with their heads down on mobile phones. Also, riders should be staying to the left before coming over onto the other side of the pathway to move around pedestrians and other riders. To me, it’s just manners – it might delay you by a minute or two but surely that’s better than the consequences of a nasty collision??
