    I cycle about 200km a week for commuting and pleasure, have a few niggles with pedestrians who walk out on the road without looking(usually listening to an ipod) but dont get upset to the point of making a comment, and often they appolagise and its all sweet.
    Agreed pedestrians should have right of way on paths, and scate boarders and cyclists on paths who are not courteous are inconsiderate.
    Once had a woman open a car door on me 7 years ago and I called her a female dog.
    99.99 % of the time though there is no drama I pull over on hills for cars , I hate seeing cyclists in two abreast talking as they ride and holding up traffic just paints a bad image for all cyclists.

    As for registration I have two cars so allready pay plenty of road tax and me cycling causes less traffic congestion and smog, so not for registering.
    It should not be a them and me attitude
