Joggers

Cyclists riding 3 a breast on narrow lanes are my pet hate or worse still on the pavement,luckily does not happen where l live now.Tractors are the norm.Joggers few and far between! So no dont bother me.

Joggers and cyclists get on my pip. We have a lovely nature walk that goes around a circular lake near to me. It’s a bloody circle and they cycle round it at speed and the runners go round it over and over and seem to think you and your dogs should leap out of the way.

Can I just say to all the cyclists and joggers that are considerate I really do appreciate it !

MayBee70 thank you ?

Do my head in when walking the dog and they come at me. I move over and try and hide my face but the worst are those that make those disgusting noises while bringing up spit/phlegm and then spitting onto the pavement? I have been known to tell them what I think of that behaviour?

Only took up jogging during the pandemic, hated the buggers before that so knew how to behave myself when running( staggering!) ?

I thought you meant the item of apparel, ie tracksuit bottoms! It took me a while to work out that you meant people out running in public ??‍♀️

It isn't joggers l have to be aware of now. It's those yellow scooters that have appeared on the pavements causing trips and falls. They wiz by silently at such a speed no warning.

Beswtched re: joggers... Here here. Bloody nuisance.

We have a narrowboat and I find that people who jog and cycle on the tow paths have little consideration for the boaters who actually have to pay a yearly licence fee to use the canals and moor alongside the towpaths, many have dogs and even cats who mill around in the area of their boat minding their own business. They, cyclists especially, come hurtling along the tow paths with total disregard for moorers. I am not a runner and my usual comment is ‘they will have knee problems when they are older with that constant pounding!’ Maybe I am getting old and grumpy?

I'm fine with joggers or who ever, but!! when I'm driving along a street/road etc and they! expect me! to stop to let them carry on, well I'm not too pleased

Few weeks ago whilst leaving my daughters I was coming out of side street on to main road but I had! to stop before I got the the small junction as this jogger woman was not for stopping at the edge of the pavement, and gave me the dirtiest look ever, like "how dare you be in a car on the road"

They don't really bother me but I wish they would move out of the way when they are coming towards you. We have grass verges between footpath & the road & they could easily move onto that instead of squeezing past. If there are more than one of them I usually move but it does annoy me a bit.

Most of us who cycle and jog are considerate to others, after all we are are all going out to enjoy ourselves. What I can't stand is these people who stop in the middle of a shared, walk cycle path and block it with kids, scooters, prams and dogs and make no effort to move when you ring your bell. I think if more of you took up some sort of outside exercise you would be a lot fitter and happier. Rant over.

I think most joggers, cyclists, dog walkers, scooters, pedestrians etc are considerate of others.
Seems a lot of petty annoyance at anyone doing anything different

They get on my nerves too as they usually pass too close puffing and panting as if they own the pavement, everybody's got to get out of their way. Problem is there are very few running tracks on parks.

Pedestrians who suddenly walk into roads without looking are pretty annoying too, and many do it. They think that because they can't hear anything, they needn't look, then glare/swear at the poor cyclist who had to swerve dangerously to avoid them.

Then there are the pedestrians who mosey down the middle of quiet country lanes, who don't/can't hear bicycle bells being rung constantly from about 50 meters bring but get furious when same cyclist shouts a friendly 'coming up behind' when nearer, yelling at them to 'get a bell"!

And pedestrians who let their dogs on extendable leads wander freely across roads, again oblivious to the danger this can pose to road users.

Am I anti-pedestrian? No, I walk more than I cycle. All I'm trying to do is point out that there are inconsiderate idiots doing every activity, but they are a tiny minority.

What really gets my goat is this blanket 'hatred' and intolerance of other people who enjoy a particular activity, be it jogging, cycling, walking or whatever!
I really hate intolerance! ?

The local prom is obviously getting busier now summer is here. Cyclists and joggers mean you have to do the green cross code when trying to get onto the beach. But escooters are illegal (unless they're local authority ones in the trial areas - that's not us) and are scary to old 'uns, parents of little ones and dog walkers.
