I have not had "Bicycle Madness" problems. Occasionally one goes by a little too fast for my liking. In the main, I find cyclists generally courteous. I have a folding bike I use myself sometimes. I pick either the water side or the hedge side, whichever is most convenient. I let walkers and fishermen etc. know I am approaching with a "ding" or two in plenty of time. I often stop to let cyclists pass by in the opposite direction. IT IS MY OPINION that often ones attitude towards the "other" person is mirrored back towards oneself. Is there a lesson to be learned here? ~Allan~
