Great article - Exactly my experience cycling through Wellington. It frustrates me that in the city my options are to either risk being hit by a car on the city streets or risk hitting a walker on the waterfront. Poor walker bahviour on shared paths is frustrating, but is an issue of poor infrastructure choices rather than an epidemic of bad walkers. The risk from hostile driving to cyclists just gets redirected onto walkers on shared paths rather than actually being dealt with.
If we all had dash cams on our bikes I think the footage gathered would be a real wake up call to how poor the conditions are on the roads in Wellington. Serious accidents are invetable.
