Soligorsk Cyclist Highlights Pedestrian Disregard on Bike Paths A recent video from a cyclist in Soligorsk, Belarus, has brought attention to the issue of pedestrians using designated bike paths. The cyclist, who wishes to remain anonymous, documented several near-misses while riding along a path near a local industrial area. "It's frustrating," says the cyclist, "because these paths are there for our safety. It's not just about convenience; it's about avoiding accidents." The video shows pedestrians walking on the bike path, forcing the cyclist to maneuver around them. One section depicts a particularly close call, where the cyclist had to swerve to avoid a collision.
