[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is a bike path, why do they need to be on the road.  I am all for sharing the road where there is no lane or path for bikes.  The fact that the path is not in good condition for riding shouldn't be an excuse.  The roads are not in ultimate conditions and cars still need to use them.  Also, that the path is being used by walkers and other bikers is not a good excuse either.  Roads are full of cars and they are still used by cars.[/quote]

Yes it is a good excuse.  Pedestrian paths are riskier because you have kids who have no idea about safety, joggers with earbuds who can't hear any warnings, people stopping abruptly and turning around on the path with no thought that a bicycle might be coming their way.

Anyone with some common sense knows that the bigger risk is a bike-pedestrian collision.

[b]Let's get right to it:  you don't like the inconvenience of the cyclists.[/b][u]  Sure, there are some safety issues.but they are your red herring.  Cyclist/Car collisions on MacArthur are as rare as hen's teeth.  Stop the nonsense.[/quote]
