The trails aren't that wide, so center-left of the right lane, is basically "Taking the lane."

It's not dangerous for anyone, if you pass safely and slowly - ie, don't weave in between people traveling in both lanes. I've found that as a pedestrian, it's far more effective for me to walk center-left concerning deterring cyclists from passing poorly and dangerously.

Yeah, I'm agreeing with the other bicycle-rider here. When I pass someone, I slow down, I give my bell a polite ding, and I give the person/people plenty of room. It's harder for me to give you plenty of room when you're walking in the middle of the path.[/quote]

That's great that you slow down and give a polite ding. Many, many cyclists do not. Many are trying to race as fast as they can and dangerously cut pedestrians off, with zero warning whatsoever. I know what's safer for me, and that consists of staying center-left to avoid a cyclist quickly cutting between me and a person in the other lane. [/quote]

If you say so, but it doesn't sound to me like something that's safer for you.[/quote]
