Another cyclist here.  I would echo that the cyclist has the same rights as anyone else to be on the road, but having said that I will pull in where it's safe and convenient to let people pass when they need to.  Having been a truck and bus driver in the past I know how difficult it is to get past cyclists as you are bearing in mind their safety as well as that of oncoming traffic.  On the whole though I would say that the Shetland drivers are extremely respectful of cyclists, giving them an extremely wide pass.  A couple of knobbers, one in a Berlingo passed within reaching distance 3 times in 18 months, and another in a black Volvo X70 did the same, but only twice.  They are the exception though.
 
Of the car and cycle though, one costs you money and makes you fat, whilst the other saves you money and keeps you fit.
 
If I remember correctly, it has been illegal to cycle on the pavements since the 1830s.

A Shetland Storytelling | 'Da Hillsook Wedeen' by Marjolein Robertson

At the Voe show a couple of years ago there was a stand selling fried small whole haddocks , They were fresh tasty cooked to perfection and for the record I ate six, There was also the usual burger/sausage fry up going on. As I observed the two food outlets I was amused and as a Shetlander ashamed by the size of the queue at each outlet. There was three people waiting for the fish . All from Whalsay by the way and at least sixty waiting for a burger. So in my opinion if the Voe show crowd is any reflection of the eating habits of the rest of Shetland They are wasting their time.

Is there no scope to share some of the facilites already at Hays Dock, Small Boat Harbour or Boating Club?
 
Would think that buying a listed building sitting in the ebb when sea levels are rising is just going to be an ongoing liability for someone.
 
Far too many groups, clubs, churches, halls, organisations, etc with underused buildings.
 
If some of these groups got together and shared facilities, costs and maintenence, facilites would stand a better chance of surviving in the long run.
