Yes I eat anything
Many cycle paths are ill thought out wastes of time, money & effort that go nowhere. If we are to get anywhere near a liveable planet we need to put the car in a much smaller car path and prioritise sustainable forms of transport, make cycle roads the norm.
Unfortunately as car drivers, insulated in our convenient little tin boxes, we continue to pump out toxins into the environment with impunity, and little care for the fate of future generations.
Maybe we are just too thick?

Then he should be on the cycle path.
He might not know it's there, or where it goes, something I have been guilty of in the past.
As I'm getting progressively slower I feel safe enough to use cycle paths and have 'missed' a few this year.
I ask for specifics because this is a very 'special' path.
This new and expensive path connects nearly Littlehampton to the new Bognor Relief Road.
It's only on the north side of the road, so it isn't accessible from Littlehampton.
(This rider had 2 safe access points before the Oyster Catcher)
The multi million pound path ends and by that I genuinely mean ends, at the river Arun, so it's not what you call integrated.
As for cycle paths never used - they are used but because they are so bloody efficient they always look empty.
I ride on that particular path most weeks and ALWAYS pass someone.

nice one well said
I guess I have to mention the fact he wasn't 4 foot from said cycle path.
Unless the road for each lane of traffic is 2 foot wide, which would be nice.

Cyclist are most selfish of road users at times.
I have just street viewed Bridge Road Littlehampton, sadly though I'm too old to know how to put the image up here.
Which is a shame because at the river it clearly shows, provision for cyclists then nothing.
Followed by an incredibly busy 4 way roundabout with no provision for cyclists for at least 1/4 of a mile in any direction.
Just imagine how happy you lot in you death wagons would be if a new road suddenly stopped?
Strange how the actual facts and 'traveling a mile in someone else's tyre tracks' can change situations.
(By that point this person still should have been on path, if he knew it was there)

motorists kill a lot more people with excessive speed,

Harsh. He made a decent and sensible comment.
Don't be angry at car drivers...
Pity them, instead.

i have
Cyclists briefly holding traffic up on Ditchling Beacon or the Pycombe-Clayton road
versus
Drivers using mobiles or speeding
..... the latter is both illegal and the ultimate is selfish behaviour.

sorry not into that
I am sure that when I was studying the Highway Code 50 odd years ago in preparation for my Driving Test the book contained a road sign for a compulsory cycle track. Less sure, I think there was one on what is now Crawley Avenue (A23) then known as the Crawley By pass. I'm not sure if that cycle track still exists. It was separated from the roadway by a grass verge and now may just be a footpath?
