What does being considerate mean? It means putting the needs of others before yours. It's also something I don't associate with cyclists, not all anyway.
I have never been a fan of cyclists who took over the pavement Ringing that darn bell of theirs to tell people to get outta their ways. Or riding abreast with their friends / families, Taking over the whole pavement and blocking anyone who dares to try to find a foothold between the wheels...
Then yesterday I was waiting for the bus at Pasir Ris It was around school ending time and Bus stops are chock full with people waiting for their buses.
One cyclist rode all the way up people's back, clicking that un-ringing bell to tell people to move.... I rolled my eyes, wishing he'd ring that bell at me and I will tell him to 'naff off'...
A tad later, another cyclist was riding the opposite direction heading straight towards the same crowd again... Then as he neared, he slowed and Detoured a little to carry on his journey without breathing down anyone's back or shooing people away like they own the road.
That... is being considerate... That is actually refreshing...
