Does anyone else get as irritated as I do about people that ride their bikes on pavements. I walk to work everyday and everyday I get some mad cyclist who comes up fast behind me and they cycle past so close that you can feel the wind rushing past. What if I was to suddenly move slightly over at that point? i would be badly injured I imagine. Does anyone else hate this as much as I do?

Not really. Being super alert of my surroundings, I notice when a cyclist is coming up behind me (oh yeah, baby) - it's simple - just carry on walking. It's not like they're about to ram you over, (though yobs in groups look it) they mostly leave you be.

I once stepped out in front of a cyclist. It was a blind corner and we didn't see each other. He jammed on his brakes and went straight over his handle bars. I walked off chuckling to myself.

Meh, I didn't care if he was hurt or not. You have to be going at some speed to be sent over your handle bars, and if he's stupid enough to go that fast on a footpath then he deserved to get hurt.

You *iss off anyone who's on a bike. People on bikes anticipate you to walk in a straight line, because you have no reason not to.

Yer.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Excellent support service!
I have always found the support staff to provide an excellent service on every occasion I've called.
