And isn't this the same for nearly every 'group' or small percentage

We regularly walk our dogs along the towpath and so meet many cyclists
of all types. If they are coming towards us we would generally call
our dogs over and stand aside, even though pedestrians have right of
way on the towpath.

AIUI the towpaths of the Canal & River Trust are not rights of way.
