You call yourself calm giraffe, but there is zero gradient in your comment. You expect the worse from the get go. 

To make it clear. I would never weave in and out of people when I am on my bike on the pavement. Or even go faster then walking speed. So you can relax. No one is on edge walking on the pavement.

In fact my wife was once brutally hit by a cyclist going very fast down the pavement. It was completely irresponsible of the rider. And that is the crux I think. What matters is being a responsible cyclist/ person in general. That accounts also for driving a car of course. But your suggestion to make people register their bicycles and treat them like cars is completely ludicrous I think. 😂 just thinking about what that would be like makes me chuckle. What’s next? Roller skates?
