Whenever I see a grown ass adult cycling on the pavement/sidewalk expecting us all to move out of the way for them, etc., I genuinely wish I had a vuvuzela to blow in their face. It's not OK to make us move out of the way just because drivers hate you.

I've twice been hit by cyclists as a pedestrian, both times when the cyclist was cycling illegally. I get it that cycling is scary and pedestrians are awful, but most countries need to learn to separate cars / cyclists / pedestrians .

Agree, a lot of problems could be avoided if cycling on roads were safer for cyclists.

Definitely. As a cyclist in Oxford most of the problems I had were with cars. London is very dangerous for cyclists but it's not an excuse. Where I live has a separate cycle thing, no cars, called the CS1 and they still cycle in my way as a pedestrian.

Wasn't intending to excuse cyclists - but individual education is difficult, compared to better design of systems for car/bicycle/pedestrian mixed use.

Oh, I see what you mean. I was 100% joking and just venting. Of course using a vuvuzela isn't going to teach anything.

I've also wanted to yell at cyclists and drivers... settled for a bell instead.

Correct use of the bell is great!
Cyclists/drivers who use the bell/horn for anything other than the intended purpose really bug me, esp since misuse of horn is an offense, but also because I grew up with it (horn) meaning something very specific that occurs in the UK too.
