Only nearly? They were lucky! I'm a regular walker doing several miles each day and I have been run into twice by cyclists illegally riding on footpaths, and suffered a fair amount of foul verbal abuse for "being in their way" on narrow footpaths! Much more dangerous at night when over 90% of cyclists seem to think that they can ride without lights on the footpath!
One of the safest places to walk locally is on a 2.5m wide combined cycleway/footway constructed 2 years ago at a cost of several £100,000, but cyclists are very rarely seen on it as they prefer the narrow footpath on the other side of the road!!!
