WTF is so wrong with suggesting that bicyclists give pedestrians on MUPs the same courtesy they want form cars on the road.
Are we looking at trickle down obnoxiousness?
How often here on BF do we have folks arguing for the "Take the Lane" approach and it's just plain tough on any cager that has to lose some time if he can't pass? Or arguments in favor of presumed liability where drivers would be presumed to be responsible if they hit a bicyclist.
So we have a newbie posting a request for comparable courtesy, patience, and planning when they pass pedestrians, and he's roundly flamed.
I agree that most of us don't need the lecture from a newbie, but IMO that doesn't excuse the reactions I've read here.
