Left, Right! Left, Right! Pick up the pace now!!

[Clinton Huxley]

Bicyclists should be on the road or the cycle path and get off the damned pavement.

I'm surprised to see Lord Huxley of all people straying from the Queen's English

Bicyclists should be on the road or the cycle path and get off the damned pavement.

If they're on the pavement, they should behave like other wheeled vehicles, including stopping at the damned stop signs. If they're on the sidewalk they should proceed as if they're pedestrians, with all the obligations and duties of same. Trying to do highway speeds on a sidewalk is stupid.

Ah, the influence of my old Latin teacher at Rugby, who often used to perambulate on the pavimentum.

The Battle of Waterloo was won on the sidewalks of Eton.

I don't know what effect your digressions have upon the enemy, Mr Zilla, but by God they terrify me.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I'm betting that's some kind of quote.

I don't mind if people walk slowly; that's fine. What annoys me is people who walk slowly and meander around the middle of the path. Fucking stick to one side and let me get passed! And if there's a group of people, or even just a couple walking side by side, they manage to spread out and completely occupy even the widest of pavements, totally unaware of anyone else around them. Either they need mirrors, or I need a horn.

Riding a bicycle on a sidewalk will show you how random people on foot can be. Sudden stops, changes in direction, including complete reversal of direction, and grouping so as to take up the entire sidewalk are just a few of their tricks.

There you go Psycho...you could get a whistle and you can let them know when you're coming up right behind them...you can have fun with that too, making people jump out of the way.

Few things infuriate me more, and I'm often and prodigiously infuriated by most things, than being stuck behind a human snail.

Just muse on them being covered in garlic, butter, parsley, with a dash of white wine...

Actually, I just wish I could step on them. or that I were froggily endowed and could leap over their heads.

I walk slowly if there are interesting biological phenomena to observe.

Not that happens much in the city, aside from certain undulating female behinds...

[Mysturji]

As one who regards tardiness of perambulation a capital offence, it provokes a sneer of schadenfreude to see this - walking slowly is a predictor of dementia.

... or an indication of short legs.

So come on, slow-coaches, pick up the pace and avoid dementia AND my boot in your backside!

Not to mention the lions and sabre-tooth tigers.

I've got a horn, but you can't use it.

In English, "pavement" means "sidewalk" in Merkin.

But... Oh, never mind.
