Bike riders on paths

I was nearly skilled by a bike rider on the foot path near my home. I had to stop as the path was not wide enough for he and I to pass without contact. He glared at me and virtually told me to "get out of the way" I said that it was he that should not be on the path and he yelled at me that he had every right to ride on the path. I was pretty sure that that was not right so rang the police when I arrived home to check and YES I am right ONLY pedestrians are allowed on paths. No bikes scooters, skateboards etc are allowed. It is a bit rich when you cant even walk safely on a path and even richer when a young kid has a go at you for doing so!

Bike riders should be allowed on paths, at least they aren't on the roads. There is nothing I cant stand more than being stuck behind a cyclist on the road, travelling at 30km/h. Keeping cyclists on foot paths is generally a lot safer than having them causing trouble on the roads.
