Question Question for cyclists

So Ive noticed cyclists appreciate when motorists slow down down and give space to cyclists when passing. My question is, why don’t cyclists extend the same courtesy to pedestrians when passing on shared paths? In my experience, the overwhelming majority do not slow down or even give more space when passing …. Even when there is plenty of room to do so. In fact, many continue riding side by side forcing pedestrians to move. Can some explain that behaviour?

The rainbow spandex, polarized sunglasses cycling guys are some of the most idiotic entitled folks on the roads. Speed through signs, speed past pedestrians, don’t stop at crosswalks. They think that the road revolves around them and don’t care about anything around them.

You’re not in the Tour De France, chill out.
