[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 think the right of way you describe is universal, and is analogous to rules on water.

Power boats have to give way to sail boats.  Bikers have to give way to slower movers, like walkers, children.

Cars yield to pedestrians and bikers (who should be walking their bikes at CROSSWALKS).  If a biker is not in the crosswalk, car does yield.  Hate when bikers try to beat cars to crosswalk or blow off signs and traffic signals on the trails.

Several years ago Arlington police were issuing citations to bikers and pedestrians for infractions near key bridge. Does that will go on today?[/quote]
