[quote=Anonymous]"On your left" is a courtesy to let pedestrians know your bike is coming up behind them to pass. It's not intended to tell anyone to move over, get off the trail, or step in a puddle. If you're surprised by the warning, that's the entire point. It would be a lot more disconcerting to have a bike going just 10mph pass without a heads up. None of the close-in multi-use trails are for hard bicycle training. Even in the off hours, you can't run at 25mph+ on those trails for 40-50 miles. That's what rural roads and Hains Point are for. On the Virginia side, the Mt. Vernon, Custis, and WO&D have 15mph speed limits. While I often exceed that speed for short burst, I only do so when there are no one else around. I like to think of pedestrians and strollers as helping me do high intensity intervals by forcing me to come to a stop and rev back up again. In defense of the spandex, cyclist need the padding and it prevents plumbers butt. [/quote]
