I ride through the local National Park at least 1 time per week and I always have to call out to pedestrians, "coming past" as they like to walk all over the road. It is a very quiet park, sometimes I don't see any cars at all, but I can't understand why people don't either walk on the designated paths or at least walk toward on coming traffic, so they see bikes coming. I have had a number of occasions when I have called out and the group of people turn to see me then continue walking without moving over. The roads are wide enough for two cars, but they insist on walking in the middle of the road.:confused:
Last week I came around a blind left hand corner at 40kph (the speed limit) and there were 5-6 joggers taking up the whole road, I quickly yelled "coming past" and none of them moved, so I just missed a woman by a few inches. If I had been driving a car she would have been hit. I was already hugging the far left of the road, there wasn't a lot of room for error. If they had been running toward me on my side I could have gone around them, but when you take up the whole road there isn't a lot of options. There are some intelligent pedestrians though, these are the ones that instinctively move over without turning, they hear your "call" and just step aside, perfect.

CHEERS.
