Pedestrians always wander all over the half that is supposed to be for cyclists. I try to stay in the cycling half but it's often impossible to do so because of having to dodge walkers, joggers, prams etc. Some people do move aside but others seem quite obstructive. Faced with a shared pathway the roads often seems the lesser of two evils ...dangerous as they are for cyclists.

Well on the nearest main road to me there are cycle paths on BOTH sides of the road.Yes on one side it's a shared pedestrian cycle/pathway BUT on the other side the pedestrians and cyclists are separated by two feet of grass verge.And yes today I passed two ubiquitous macho hardmen(I've never seen a female one yet) cyclists wobbling(the way only speed cyclists can)in the road.
