[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mixed use trails are just that - mixed use! That means avid cyclers, walkers, runners, kids learning how to ride their bike. As someone who lives off the custis trail, I definitely see a bike commute culture between the hours of 7-9am and again 4-6pm. I LOVE that people ride to work. I tend to avoid the trails at those times. However, they don't own the trails. As a parent who taught her kids to ride their bikes on the bike trails, I avoided high peak use times. [/quote]

Exactly this. [b]You bike riding weekend warriors don't own the mixed use trail.[/b] Would you say the same shit about an elderly cyclist or walker? Not in a million years but you think you can say it's ok to treat a multi use trail like it is a designated bike path on a saturday afternoon and it is therefore fine to startle the shit out of children to the point that they crash. [/quote]

It seems that you think that YOU own the mixed use trail.  The "weekend warriors" only want to abide by standard biking etiquette.   You seem to think your children should be able to take over the whole trail, and everyone else needs to accommodate.[/quote]

I used to bike trails and I always adjusted my riding based on trail conditions.  If there were lots of kids, dogs, walkers on the trail I knew that it was going to be a slower ride for me.  [/quote]
