A walker said he jumped out of the way in alarm as three people on a motorbike passed him on the Bristol and Bath Railway Path - and one of them flipped a middle finger as he snapped a quick photo.
The busy route is used by cyclists and pedestrians, but Rob Bryher said despite the image, police policy is not to investigate as he is unable to supply footage. He said the process of online submission of road-related incidents requires footage of before and after an incident, not only evidence of the actual incident.
The former Green councillor and urban and transport planner said he was walking along the path last week, when suddenly the bikers came zooming past him. He said: “Ironically I was returning from a community meeting with police when this happened.
