Cyclists ringing their bell at pedestrians on the pavement is like cars honking their horns at cyclists in a bike lane
It’s not your space, so don’t impose on the people using it properly
I’m sorry that roads can be bad for cyclists, but making the pavement bad for pedestrians isn’t the answer
If I’m walking on the pavement and a cyclist rings their bell to make me get out of their way, I’m gonna get mad
I know cars suck. But you’re meant to cycle on the road - You’re not supposed to cycle on the pavement. I don’t care if you do if the road is horrible, fair play, but ringing your bell at me? It’s my right of way, so no thanks

Expect =/= deserve
The black panthers open carried in part to expose the hypocrisy of a system that was already indiscriminantly violent towards black people
It’s ‘psychic paper’, it shows what the holder wants it to. Like a super adaptable fake ID
It’s ‘shorted out’ like an electrical appliance would if you overload it, because it’s been asked to do too much
(in the Dr Who world, ‘magic’ things like psychic paper are acutally just advanced technology)
Mate idk where you live but in the UK you aren’t allowed to cycle on pavements. Call me a dick if you want but it’s just how it is.
If you wanna use the pavement, get off your bike and walk. Dont get mad at me cos you don’t like cycling on the road. Neither do I. So I walk.
