[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also: A mix use path means that you’re expected to share with others, regardless of what use they are making of it. You don’t get to refuse to share nicely just because you don’t like dogs or cyclists or whatever.

And for the love of god if you hear a bell ringing that means pay attention and make way towards the right if you can. It does not mean scatter all over the path so that everyone coming up behind you needs to break or stop to figure out how to get around you without running into anyone else. And if you can’t manage even this then just stick to a treadmill.[/quote]

A ringing of the bell is a notice, not a request. As long as one is in the right lane, they are under zero obligation to move more to the right. Personally, I "take the lane" as a pedestrian, as I feel it's WAY safer, and discourages cyclists from going in between the lanes.

And yes, a mixed use path means sharing the path. People can and should have their dogs with them, but they should be on the right of their handler, and not wandering all over the path. Treating path-use like driving is the most sensible. Stay in your lane, look when you're passing or moving, and we can all share it fine.
