[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BIKE RIDERS.

They are awful.  They don't follow the rules, they think no rules should apply to them because they are somehow more special than walkers or drivers.

Multi-use trails are for everyone and everyone- including bikers- needs to be cautious against injuring others and SHARING the path.

Don't ride next to each other like it's your trail.

There is a "hierarchy" of right of way on the trails, it's posted on the signs.  On our part of of the W&OD trail it goes from highest to lowest- horseback riders, walkers, bikers.

You yield, which entails slowing down.  You don't put another in danger by whizzing by a crazy speeds and clipping them and saying "well I said on your left".

I am a bike rider (as well as a walker). I follow the rules on a trail.  I do share the path.  If there is no room to pass, because someone is coming in the other direction, I wait to pass.  I pass walkers, runners, and slow riders on the left - by going all the way to the left hand side of the trail, and calling my pass. That is correct trail etiquette and follows the rules.  That does not put anyone in danger.

Also cyclists have the same right to ride side by side as walkers do to walk side by side - they can do so as long as they can both fit on the right side of the trail.
