I see the people walking infront of me, one keep left, one keep right.

I third person walk centre

End up the cyclist have to siam to his left and right avoid the people.

Isn't it very dangerous ?

my experience is left for sinkies and right for foreigners

even those from former british colonies which drive on the left also walk on the right side

No. U should just stay put and let them pass. U must learn to be a lamp post.

Are u bbfa?

Then u shall be a fat lamp post.

By convention, keep left.

When you come across pedestrians who are not aware/mindful of this keep left convention,

they are great opportunities for you to learn to be more patient and to practise your safe bike manoeuvring skills.

i will just stop and let them go around me instead. Its a shared path, everyone should be considerate and just be on their side only. if i squeeze and langa them then becomes my fault.

Those cyclists who put on helmets should be on the road. Not on pavement. Why so kiasi?

This is when a small bicycle bell comes in handy.

Ring the bell once or at most twice. Dont ring the bell to signal your frustration as that may make some people upset and guailan to block you more.

Most people dont intentionally want to block the whole path, and they will quickly move aside when they become aware that a cyclist is behind them.

Once you pass them, remember to say "Thanks" or wave a thanks hand signal to them for making the effort to move aside for you.
