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.

What!!! What a @#$%#! jerk!!
I am so sorry to hear this. Were you alright?
People nowadays are too rude, and thoughtless too often.
(he must have been one of PPs' angry Maple MAGAs...sorry, I didn't mean to *politicize* your post)
@SnowshadowII @gemelliz he was a garden variety of jerk - the Maple MAGA dress code forbids bicycles... I believe lifted pickups are a requirement /s
@shadowpages HA!! Well done!!@gemelliz
