But what about pedestrians? A silly woman stopped in the road in front
of me this morning near the British Museum, exactly on top of a
painted cycle symbol and blocking the gap between two bollards
marking the start of the cycle route I was entering. I rang my bell
as I approached. She just smiled sweetly. Eventually it dawned on
her to think where she was and stand somewhere else in the middle of
the road. Grrr!

Shared-use cycle paths on pavements aren't "out of bounds" to
pedestrians. They're merely available to cyclists as well as
pedestrians. She had as much right to be there as you did.

Whatever. This was a bollarded roadway, not a shared use path. In any case
the term I used was lack of "consideration for other road users".
