not really, if its a shared lane then fine - and it is further down the seafront, where I potter along nicely.
But this section is a completely separate area, delineated with kerbs and white lines and give way signs etc - specially created to get cyclists off the seafront pavement we used to use.
Peds however seem to be oblivious to the danger - frequently parking their little kids on there while they get crap out of their cars.
I dont think shouting a warning is wrong in those circumstances - admittedly I might be a bit loud but better than not shouting surely

So what's wrong with "Excuse me please", followed by a wave and "Thanks" when you pass?
I normally try to avoid cycle tracks for exactly this sort of reason. Road traffic is generally predictable, pedestrians generally aren't.

ok, in which case this is just terminology - screamed just means 'very loud' in this case.
Its a tourist trap, its very noisy, its full of fat obnoxious Essex chavs with their push chars full of benefit babies walking alongside tracksuit wearing yobs.
Shouting/Screaming/yelling is the only way to attract attention
Most people are grateful to be warned their little precious 'Chardonnay' is in the middl of a cycle lane, just the fat bloke yesterdy seemed put out.
I notice of course that those criticising me are from places like Erskine - where busy probably means two peds and a car a week

This is after all a remote backwater quite a way North of Watford. At least we seem to have manners however, that comment alone speaks volumes about yours.I notice of course that those criticising me are from places like Erskine - where busy probably means two peds and a car a week
Forgive me, but, I feel you do come across as an angry ranter! You told us you "screamed, this is a cycle lane" and that they were idiots for being on the cycle lane.ok, in which case this is just terminology - screamed just means 'very loud' in this case.

I had an angry motorist yelling at me to "get off the f****"*g road and get on the cycle track" today. Do you think I felt that he had a point and maybe I should thank him for sharing his thoughts with me. Hmm, yeah, right!!!
