Councillor calls for better awareness of "etiquette" between cyclists and other road users
01.09.2022 - 19:29 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Stirling councillor has appealed for “etiquette” between cyclists, drivers and pedestrians to be better understood.
Stirling Tory councillor Rachel Nunn said she had even started riding her bike on an alternative route because of experiencing near-misses with vehicles.
At a recent meeting of Stirling Council’s public safety committee, the ward member for Stirling North, said the council was looking to promote more active travel but added: “One of the issues I get brought to me as a community based councillor is the etiquette of cyclists and pedestrians.
“A pedestrian will be frustrated by a cyclist on the pavement; perhaps the cyclist should be there but the pedestrians have to ensure they are not taking up the whole pavement.
“As a cyclist I started taking a different route as it is only a matter of time before I’m knocked off my bike. Could we have some kind of campaign on etiquette for cyclists, motorists and pedestrians?’’
Forth Valley area commander Chief Superintendent Alan Gibson, however, suggested sometimes the way to do things properly depended on who was asked, and referenced a recent police campaign, Operation Close Pass, aimed at encouraging drivers to give cyclists more space.

How to Join the Dots Between Mussolini and the U.S. Capitol Riot in Venice’s ‘The March on Rome’
Leo Barraclough International Features Editor In “The March on Rome,” which world premieres in the Venice Days sidebar of Venice Film Festival Wednesday, Northern Irish-Scottish filmmaker Mark Cousins tracks the ascent of fascism in Italy in the 1920s, and its fall-out across 1930s Europe. He also draws a dotted line from those events to the storming of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., in January 2021. The documentary, illustrated with archive footage and Cousins’ characteristic cinematic analysis, starts with Donald Trump defending his decision to retweet a quote from Italian dictator Benito Mussolini: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” Later in the film, Cousins inserts footage of Trump supporters attacking the Capitol, hoping to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral victory.
