This is to the guy that yelled at me and about six other people while walking on the path in The Commons. I apologize for not having eyes in the back of my head. Have you ever thought about getting some kind of bell? Do you really think your obvious bike rage can compete with my constantly simmering pedestrian rage? Did you consider the tedious and difficult drive off path to get around us? Did you consider a polite excuse me? No, you yelled at us and wrote a bitch about it. I’m a pedestrian and I will walk slow down paved paths through parks on sunny days if I god damn want too. —The Angry Pedestrian

I’m not entirely sure it was the speed at which you were moving that was the issue. I’m pretty sure it was the fact that the group of people on the pathway were oblivious and didn’t move out of the way to allow others to pass.
No, you don’t likely have eyes in the back of your head. However, it doesn’t take that much effort to glance behind you every so often to see if there is someone approaching who may need to get by.
And yes he likely could have been a bit more tactful in his approach to getting by. Next time, instead of yelling simply say “excuse me” to get by. It may take the group a few seconds to sort themselves single file, but it is a better approach than just yelling at them.
So, Walker, be more aware of your surroundings.
And Yeller, exercise some patience and manners.

you can walk or ride on the grass. yes/no/maybe so? thanks admiral, i love mad libs
come up behind someone like that too often, and they will get a very ugly response. i thought bikes weren’t sposed to be there, anyway? but of course, some bikers are entitled to do whatever the fuck they want, and go where ever they want, with impunity.try a foot to the side of front wheel next time o.p.
Bitch Battle!
What are the odds that a couple of citizens shared a random encounter on the Commons and then both sought out the LTWWB pages to carry on the battle?
I smell a rat . . . or at least a smelly piece of Danish Blue. O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
“dragon’s breath cheese” lllaaaarrrrrgggghhhh
Funny thing about cyclists in Halifax, they forget that as VEHICLES bicycles as required to have working lights AND signalling devices (ie. bell or horn)…
http://www.gov.ns.ca/snsmr/pdf/ans-rmv-bic… (see page 5). Maybe the cyclists of Hali’ are too cool for these? I think HRPD should be handing out fines/tickets for all cyclists who do not abide by the established rules of the road. This could of course be better enforced by a regestration/testing-liscencing/insuring requirement of all cyclists.
No prob, as long as you want to kick in for the extra taxes to pay for the regestration(sic)/testing-liscencing(sic)/insuring requirement just like cyclists do for motorists.
Could you elaborate Cranky? I’m not trying to attack you or anything, just curious, but whenever I have to go get whatever for my car like registration, my license, testing, etc, I usually need my wallet.
So do I (pay when registering etc), but I’m thinking the money I shell out for car registration and licensing doesn’t scratch the surface of the actual cost. Where does the money come from to make up the difference? That’s all.
Okay you mean like to pay for the smoke breaks and pensions and sick days for the employees at Access Nova Scotia, I gotcha ;D
Cyclists deserve a punch in the throat for shit like this.
So you and your friends are the ignorant people who take up the whole sidewalk and don’t move when another human wants to pass, aren’t you? Also I bet you are the kind of person who stops right in front of a doorway at a busy spot to talk, idiot.
But bikes aren’t allowed on the sidewalks, that is if you want your bike treated like the vehicle it is. The cyclist (following the rules of the road) should have went around just like a motorcycle. But then I forgot cyclists want to be whatever they want for their own convenience. I’m waiting for the day when a pedestrian clotheslines one of these pretentious idiots.
i never ever ride on the sidewalk. some of my compatriots like to yell at sidewalk riders “hey, put your big boy pants on”
Tell those fucking bikers to get back on the streets. Paths are for walking on. Don’t bother giving them the right of way.
