We go walking in wetlands and along canals where cycles are allowed but plenty of signs indicate pedestrians have priority.

Every week there are near misses with cyclists using the paths as race tracks and now electric scooters are everywhere, being ridden by all age groups and sexes.

They’re a menace and should be treated as motor vehicles, which are very much banned on these routes.

I’m never staring at my phone while walking but will be looking at local bird life through binoculars when these bell ends come barrelling through, expecting you to get out of the way.

Same as any other vehicle, it’s the user that’s the problem but nothing will be done until people start getting hospitalised. And it’s only a matter of time.

I hate them with a passion.
