An example of the entitled female. I was cycling along the shared footpath...

...which is four people wide when I came across a female, maybe early 30's, with two small dogs on a stretch leash and the dogs were straying across the path as usual. I waited for a lull in the traffic so she'd hear me and "belled" her. No reaction. I got right behind her and did the same. Same response. So I said: "excuse me, Madam" and she half looked around and twittered a very unconvincing "sorry". Now I could be wrong and she doesn't associate a bell in her ear with a cyclist but I think she felt offended at being belled to shift her rather large arse (she is a female after all) and being an entitled human being she considered she deserved the human-voice touch and being belled was insulting? Oh and by the way she looked like @inaminit 's missus but I couldn't be sure.

ON YOUR LEFT!

Got to call your shots like American cyclists...and go about 25mph while doing it.

There is this, but probably illegal in Australia. Maybe @paul_neri can smuggle it in.

I hope piercing mode causes swans to fuck off. I'd buy one just for that if I was still in Michigan.

I think it was northern Michigan where I ran out as a 3-4 year old into a vast field of Canadian Geese. There must have been thousands of them, when my parents stopped along the road to let me out. The domesticated versions can get pretty territorial.

The domesticated versions can get pretty territorial.

They've never been an issue for me for whatever reason. They're all over the place here during certain times of year. Goose shit everywhere!

I try to interact pleasantly with other path users. In fact too pleasantly. Instead of "belling" a drunk aborigine who was staggering along the footpath next to a busy road, I rode around him and his missus on the grass and he went ballistic about not ringing my bell and he wanted to throw me and my bike in the sea and ...it almost came to blows.

Bicyclists are gay.
