In danger of being knocked over by cyclists!

In danger of being knocked over by cyclists!
I hadn't thought I was in danger because I never see cyclists here but as I was lining up this shot, this chap whizzed past me using some choice Madrileño invective - and justfiably so! I should have known it was a cycle route. Served me right!
This pedestrian and cycle pathway lies above the M40 motorway ring road.

All the bike had on it was this guy with supreme confidence that all would fall out of his way. When I didn't see him, he did swerve round me and uttered a hearty traditional Spanish folk greeting of the earthier sort, which was the first time I saw or heard him.
And the fault was entirely mine!

....well I can understand the situation very well
here in Padua on the sidewalks marked by cycle paths divided by a line from pedestrian tracks, you have to be as careful as on a war path!
More and more often: No more rules either for the youngest or the oldest cyclists;in fact the latter are tremendously bad and seem intent on making a strike with pedestrians as skittles...

However, hopping here and there I keep training....:-)
Risking your life: what a a great picture, Andy!

Yikes! Well taken, but if there's no separate walking path I'd have thought it up to cyclists to avoid pedestrians.

I'm standing on a great big painted bycicle sign, George, so it really was my fault!

Thank you, Bea! As explained to George, I was standing on a huge white bycicle sign painted on the path, which I just didn't see (concentrating too much on the photo!).
