In the historic city centre of Montpellier is little space for sperate use of the roads, so share the road is a thing here. Pedestrians are the dominant mode of travel here but vehicular traffic with bikes and cars and small lorries exists. I could only assume what the conversation of the two was, but it happens after the cyclists rode by the lady with little distance. The conversation was held with respect and ended with smiles.

In a city with a rapidly grown cycling share conflicts in the combined use of public space are certain. Being able as a community to learn from each other would be a must have skill, that we might miss in Germany sometimes.

BTW: this situation I watched while having an amazingly good filter coffee at the cafe Coldrip.
