1. Peloton is not a bicycle that people can ride. It's a stationary bicycle. That means you set it up on your lanai or somewhere in the house, and it doesn't go anywhere. It has one wheel - the other end is attached to a base. So you're griping about something you clearly know nothing about, and making it up as you go along.

2. It sounds like you have a lot of anger against teenage girls, or possibly have some resentment against teenage girls who wear tight clothes and heels when they go dancing? Pretty weird, and possibly creepy, if you ask me.

3. I don't know what you mean by cyclist shoes. I wear sneakers, just normal sneakers. I also wear leggings or skin-hugging shorts, because otherwise I get chafing on my thighs from constant peddling up and down against the bike seat.

4. You're running in the street, at probably around 6-7mph. A bicycle is riding, usually between 13-17mph. A golf cart is driving between 17-20mph. And a car is driving at 20-45mph. If they're all approaching each other, whether from behind or in front, then everyone has to squeeze in so everyone fits and has room to pass each other. It has to be paced, timed so that no one ends up tipped over and injured. The pedestrian has the easiest job of stopping or getting out of the way. That's just physics. The golf cart has the second easiest job of stopping or getting out of the way. The car has the third easiest job. And the bicycle - has the hardest time either stopping or getting out of the way.

So cut those cyclists some slack. If you see them coming toward you, get as close to the edge of the path as you can. In fact, if it's safe to get on the grass, then get on the grass. YOU won't be inconvenienced even a smidge.

I don’t understand why a runner or a walker rather use the street than a sidewalk or path?
