Probably, but I doubt I'm listening.

You’re heartless.

How fast are cyclists allowed to go on shared paths, 5 or 10km p/hr ?

I didn't think there was a limit, it annoys the hell out of me seeing men riding on footpaths, I can't resist telling them what I think, it happens on Prospect Road heaps, the footpath is narrow enough as it is in some parts and there's plenty of cafe's along there too.

There are bike lanes on the road FFS.

Men on BMX bikes, I often wonder what life choices they made that led them to riding a BMX bike as their mode of transport in their adulthood.

No limit as far as I'm aware.

rules for paths
This section explains the different types
of ‘off-road’ paths available to bicycle
riders and some associated rules bicycle
riders must follow when using them.
When riding on any path you must:
-exercise due care and consideration for pedestrians and
other users
- give warning to pedestrians or other path users by sounding
your bell or horn or by other means, if necessary for the
purpose of averting danger
- keep to the left of any oncoming bicycle rider
- wear an approved bicycle helmet that is properly secured
and fastened.
Specifically when using footpaths or shared paths you must:
- keep to the left of the path unless it is impracticable to do so
- give way to any pedestrians.

FOOTPATHS
Bicycle riders of all ages are permitted to ride on the footpath
unless a ‘no bicycles’ sign is present (see No Bicycles signs, p.10).
SHARED PATHS
There are an increasing number of paths
that can be used by bicycle riders. In
most cases, these are paths shared with
pedestrians. These paths are identified
by signs.
SEPARATED PATHS
A separated path is divided into sections,
one of which is designated for the
exclusive use of bicycle riders and the
other for pedestrians. These paths are
identified by signs and path markings
and you must not ride along the part of
the path designated for pedestrians.
BICYCLE PATHS
A bicycle path is for the exclusive use of
bicycle riders and is identified by signs
and path markings.
PARKS AND PRIVATE PROPERTY
Some parks do not allow bicycle riding within their grounds. If
you are unsure about bicycle access, you should contact the
Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, or
the appropriate local council or land owner for advice.

Is it "Sales Rep Code" to abbreviate words, names etc?

It does my head in, I don't respond. One Sales Manager has shortened everyone's name to one syllable, every email contains either "ctns, ppl, thx or pls".


I hope they utilize the time they saved by these actions.
