Write explicit rules about dogs. Many "weirdos" just like their boundaries and basic hygiene. It is hard to socialize, over barking contest and rar dog humpimg your leg.

It will save both sides a lot of time.

Pedestrians are not danger, they are victims! Cyclist should slow down, while performing dangerous overtaking, and not crash into them! Same rules like with cars!

There is easy excuse, people expect other people to be rational, and to slow down a bit. Not to ride downhill at full speed.

I heard "human obstacle" last time in carmagedon!

I carry air horn and stick. But I am pedestrian.

In Germany we have rules, and one of those rules is that pedestrians on the sidewalk who are in the cyclepath (usually a too-subtle red stone) do, in fact, have to get out of the way for cyclists.

I imagine there's also a rule about directing airhorns against law abiding cyclists.

Yeah that's the problem, it's often too subtle and hard to notice.

That's why bike lanes should be dedicated with a stone barrier/kerb, or bikes should just not be allowed there.

I am quite often in Germany.

Red stone in Germany is cycling path, not general walk path where cyclists are not allowed.

Air horns are generally allowed upto 105 dB. Peper spray, telescopic batons and other similar devices are illegal. I also carry walking cane.
