[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cyclists never dismount on portions of the Mount Vernon trail, when they are supposed to (w/ signs), on very narrow portions. It's effing annoying.[/quote]

You mean the crossing by the airport? That dismount sign is absurd - visibility is great and if a rider DOES need to stop, they can do so and then ride across. No good reason to dismount and walk the bike and so NO ONE does it.[/quote]

No, further down and under the Arlington Memorial Bridge, on the way to Rosslyn. [/quote]

You don't really need to dismount there either, just be polite about entering, ring your bell to signal you are coming through, etc.   Its too narrow to pass even dismounted.   [/quote]

Yeah, you don't really need to follow any rules or signs as a cyclist, you can do what you want when you want, road or trail.

Sarcasm aside, yes, you absolutely need to dismount at that point. It's incredibly narrow and people are going fast. It's slightly alarming when you're a pedestrian 1/3 of the way through it, and a cyclist charges up on you. Dismount and follow the rules if you want respect as a cyclist. Don't be a jackass.
