[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a family of runners and cyclists (DH commutes via bike and kids have biked to school and summer jobs), so we're on the Crescent Trail a lot.  I don't hate anyone, but I do find it very annoying and rude when cyclists expect that saying "on your left" will immediately result in the runner,cyclist or walker they're trying to pass moving to the far right or even off the trail.  On a multimodal trail, you need to accept that you'll have to slow down sometimes.    [/quote]

[b]I can only speak for myself and not other cyclists, but when I say "on your left" it's not because I expect anyone to move off the trail.   I say it because a lot of pedestrians or other cyclists will get into "their own little world" and will suddenly swerve to the left with no notice.    By saying "on your left" I'm just warning them that I am coming and to not suddenly move directly in front of me.  If the pedestrian/other cyclist maintains how they were going, it's all good :)[/quote][/b]

Exactly! [/quote]

Agree with that in bold.  It's useful when someone says "on your left", whether I'm the one on the bike, or I'm the pedestrian.[/quote]
