Was it a cycle path or a foot path?

If it was a cycle path, then you are allowed to cross it on foot, but you aren’t allowed to walk on it.

If you blindly wandered onto a road and a driver got angry because he almost hit you because of that, would you also believe you had the right to throw his car off a bridge?

You’re still part of traffic when you’re on foot. And yes, it was 100% your fault and the cyclist was right to be pissed.

If you walk onto a freeway, on foot, you are being reckless. It’s the same for bike lanes. Look where you walk.

That literally doesn’t change what he said.
