I only got 3 replies

After realising I wasnt getting many responses...I tried it with the Peds on the shared path - 5 out of 9 said Good Morning back!
Pedestrians friendlier than cyclists????

I'm confused Rob - you mention 3 camps with a foot in each. Do you hop from one to another like some sort of demented irish dancer or a you built like Jake the peg ?
If it is the latter, how do you cycle with your extra leg ?

Why not? Does that say more about you than about the riders you disdain?
Besides in cashed up WA everyone seems to have a full wardrobe of flash kit. It'd be pretty lonely to ignore them.
