> Bicycle paths on walkways are also hazardous to cyclists - and stressful, at least in London where there’s a lot of pedestrians and they uniformly ignore the markings and treat them like any other path.

Play loud, obnoxious music from your bike using a portable speaker (or even your phone in a pinch). Doesn't conform to British cultural standards but greatly helps people get out of the way. Of course there's always those with their earphones/headphones so loud that they won't notice you, but it's a minority.

People living in the area would appreciate having less noise in their homes, whether it comes from car traffic, "loud pipes save lives", or anything else.

In open carry states: bike softly, and carry a big gun.
