15 hours ago My petty gripe: I just want one ding from speeding cyclists. How hard can it be?

It’s called a shared path for a reason, but a peaceful walkway can turn into something more like a racetrack My family recently moved house (still unpacking those last non-priority boxes) to a spot near a shared pedestrian/cyclist pathway and a few suburbs further from the CBD. We’re enjoying an easy hour’s walk most mornings. We pass wetland reserves full of bird calls and flowering trees and shrubs, eventually reaching the beach, and never needing to cross a road to get there.However another wheeled threat can spoil the serenity – the subset of cyclists who fly past pedestrians as if the shared pathway is a velodrome. It’s especially alarming when a cycling group whoosh-whoosh-whooshes past with never a bell sounded beforehand nor a slowing of speed. Now I appreciate that they are forced to pursue their hobby in a city that hates cyclists. And that many cyclists believe pedestrians will respond poorly if they sound their bell as they approach.
