That means not walking side-by-side and not paying attention, not teaching your kid to ride a bike on the trail on a busy Saturday. Not walking aimlessly with headphones on. And, of course, not trying to break speed records on your bike.
I bike on the trail often and sometimes with a group. We go fast when we're far west and take it easy along the busy parts. I've found that the trail is much more busy this year (gyms closed, etc.) and the walkers seem to be much more bold in terms of not making space on either side. I don't know if it's because they're sick of the cyclists or if there's just a lot of new trail walkers out there...I assume it's both.
Either way, there's a lot of blame to go around. The pace on the trail shouldn't be dictated by the slowest and most clueless walkers.
I assume it’s because people are trying to keep distance while walking with friends so they’re taking up more space on the trail.
