We came to that realization 5 years ago. And it is difficult not getting angry. -
Calvin & Hobbes replied to the thread Bikers, please give walking pilgrims warning!.I agree that it's a problem. When I walked the Frances a few years ago, I estimated fewer than 10% of bikers gave warning. (Maybe not that few, but certainly not many!) I bike in the U.S. and always provide warning (bell and voice). Also, I am... -
