When you are #biking on the sidewalk or side of the road
Please use caution
And be prepared to
STOP abruptly
because seniors can not
Hear you approaching
Nor
Move as fast as you might expect.
While on a walk I looked up and a biker came around a tight curve and was suddenly in front of me.
I moved as fast as possible to avoid a collision, tripped over my husband's walker wheels, fell and cracked a bone in my wrist, hurt my knee, and pulled muscles in my back and neck. At my age I am very fortunate to not have a broken hip.
Of course the biker didn't notice and was long gone by the time I sat up.
I am not looking for sympathy replies, only asking you all take some care while riding around, even in the countryside.
Thank you for reading my post.
Watch out for those crazy motorists.
@SnowshadowII Oooouch! 
Cyclists riding on sidewalks is sooo dangerous. The adult cyclist that sent me flying onto the blvd yelled “get the fuk off the sidewalk” as they roared by.

<cough>I have never shoulder checked a careless cyclist riding on the sidewalk.</cough>
Oh, and as they cursed, picking themselves back up off the ground I have never gone over and *screamed* at them about how effing assholes like them give riders like me a bad name and they should learn to stop at an effing read light while they're at it.
And they have never STFU and cowered away from the crazy person, either. ;)
I do have an old heavy duty walker I could bring on our outings as a barrier...
