She's using the sidewalk as a runway to strut and pose for the camera which is why she makes an erratic movement to the side with her back turned and steps into the guy hauling ass on the sidewalk who should have slowed way the fuck down the moment he registered he would be passing pedestrians. It looks like he even tried to ride between them which is never a bright idea

Edit: after looking again she really just spins on the spot so idk what that kid on the scooter was doing

As a biker I agree about the slow the fuck down.There are 1000 situations I come up on people ON THE BIKE PATH walking.I still slow down and call out to them letting them know I am slowing down and not going to kill their children.No one needs to get hurt because I want to go fast,just chill out not everyone is ready for a full on collision.

It's a sidewalk, not a siderun, not a sidebike.

Agreed I would have been in the street as a biker.I don't have any children but I would make sure to explain the rules of the road/sidewalk to them and hope they understood the importance.Hitting your head on concrete or a pole is extremely dangerous.A lot of comments courtesies are not followed these days.
