You forgot the word "respectful", a word which encompasses both ourselves and others.
Unfortunately, this is a discussion that could go on and on and on because we all have differing perspectives on the issue and something I didn't make clear was that my opinions are based on encounters with "near/inner city" cyclists in inner city Newcastle.
Local councils worked to transfer a former coal rail corridor into a shared (walking/cycling) path which stretches for quite some kilometres, a fantastic idea.......the Fernleigh Track. The number of issues "walkers" have had with cyclists, the number of issues motorists have had with cyclists ignoring the one set of stop signs near to the beginning of the track is beyond belief.
Regardless of anything else, it all comes down to respect and
common sense, something which appears to be less common these days.
