A question for #UK based #cyclists or anyone who uses shared (pedestrians, runners, cyclists) paths.
When I'm on my #bike on a shared path and have to pass someone who is on foot, my instinct is to keep to the left of the path. I reckon that 80% of people on foot keep to their RIGHT.
It's possible that none of them drive a vehicle on UK roads so don't know that we drive on the left.
It's also possible that they all stand on the right on Tube escalators.
Why else could it be? I find it odd.
