Kudos to the council for providing the beautiful pathway along Woolooware Bay but I worry that a serious accident is on the cards. It is a "shared" pathway, but the speed at which some bike riders fly along this route is extremely dangerous. It would be safer for all if bikes were made to slow to a walking pace when passing pedestrians instead of ringing their bells and then abusing those who may be slow to get out of their way! Signposts along the path regarding speed limits and good manners may remind bike riders to be more considerate of other users.
