[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just stay in your lane. Go straight. If you need to veer or gesture wildly, check behind you first. Assume there's someone behind you[/quote]

This is the way.

Yes let’s no one inconvenience the cyclist. [/quote]

For the last 15 years, i’ve been a walker, runner, occasional cyclist, and dog walker on the CCT. I generally find people walking in pairs or groups are the least situationally aware, especially if they have dogs. If they walk two or three abreast, then they often take over the entire lane and force others to move into the opposite lane to overtake them. Unfortunately, ever since Covid, usage has increased and people are not very good at sharing what is probably too little space for the sheer numbers.

A few times I walked with a friend and our dogs on the CCT but pretty quickly stopped. It’s too narrow given the heavy usage and it’s too easy to get engrossed in a conversation and not pay enough attention to what the dogs are doing.  I notice this all the time with others, especially when they let their leashed dogs cross the central line onto the next lane. Too easy for a dog to suddenly dart out if it sees a squirrel and accidentally take out a cyclist. [/quote]
