[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a runner I am trying to give people I pass a wide berth. Sometimes you just can’t. I pass people chatting away walking 3 abreast. I pass kids stopped dead on the path. I pass people randomly stopping and taking pictures of cherry blossoms. The paths and sidewalks are crowded, and I have to watch out for speedy bikers.

What are you going to do if I run past you within less than 6 feet. Run to catch up and confront me? Not likely, and that’s an even bigger risk.

For those walking 3 abreast I usually suffice with shooting them dirty looks or a “what the hell” shoulder shrug as I pass them.

Why don't you shout, "Excuse me, coming through"????[/quote]

I do. Like earlier today when I had to yell out “excuse me!” to pass the 2 people walking in front of me taking up the entire sidewalk. Both sides of the sidewalk.

So as long as we’re on the PSAs to runners, walkers- be aware that the trails are crowded af right now. Stop chatting and move over. Keep your kids close to you (and yes, I have kids and walk with them on the trails). Parents on bikes: Teach kids proper trail etiquette when on bikes. Let them know they can’t just stop without moving over. Bikers: stop threading the needle.

We all need to realize the trails are being used extensively right now, and we all have to be respectful not only of social distancing space, but of basic trail safety. [/quote]
