Whilst walking down the busy main corridor at the Royal Derby Hospital yesterday a guy in, I would say, his early twenties, (I'm 99% certain he wasn't staff), came out of the doors of one of the side clinics pushing an E-scooter. Once into the main corridor he promptly jumped on his scooter and proceeded to ride it, weaving through the people walking along the corridor. The corridor is not particularly wide and people are walking in both directions. Any one of them could have been hit by this idiot.

He had obviously ridden his scooter illegally to get to the hospital and then taken it in with him. Where was the hospital security? No where to be seen unfortunately.

You have to question where the antipathy towards some cyclists comes from tho’?

Easy - it is caused by those cyclists on a footpath, that do not signal their approach from behind a pedestrian, by simply ringing/pinging a bell to alert them of their oncoming presence.

Especially if like myself and others are not always wearing our hearing aids

We should not have to wear a sign to tell cyclists, ,a bit of curtacy with the use of a bell if fitted? goes a long way

Even in more so in the country side footpaths

I can assure you I do not set out to wind anyone up. I debate as politely as I can but some folk seen unable to keep a cool head.

Apology accepted.

Cyclist should not be riding on a footpath at any time. The clue is in the description .

About 400 yards from where I live there is shared cycleway and footpath it is part of the 21 mile Preston guild wheel. There is a sign saying share with care. A lot of the cyclists are trying see how fast they can do the 21 miles. The amount of cyclists who come past within inches of you is unbelievable, no bell not even an oy you shift.
