Does anyone find themselves doing this? Quite a few of the routes I go on, you rarely see walkers/other bikers, which after a while lulls you into thinking you can go at slightly silly speeds. I think I scared a couple of walkers in Grizedale on saturday - I wasn't anywhere near crashing into them or anything, but came round a corner going at a reasonable speed and they seemed pretty shocked/scared.
I generally always slow down going past walkers, say hello/thank you if they get out of the way etc etc - and most of them are perfectly friendly/happy.
Think part of the problem is perhaps some people don't realise how good modern bikes brakes/suspension is which means you can generally stop/steer away pretty easily if necessary.
Or am I just a cock? Discuss.
