Bicycle Trail Rant

[.RJ]

You want to ride somewhere where people are required to behave a certain way or face legal consequences if they don't, then ride on the public roads where there are laws.

You're right, I am relying on common sense... poor assumption really

As far as riding on the street.... 6,000 lb suv vs. a bicycle has always been too big a concern. Traffic laws or not, it only takes one asshole drinking starbucks/on their cell phone/yelling at their kids/etc to put me in a hospital.

While they're clearly labeled as bicycle trails, I'm all about sharing here, but I just wish everyone felt that way and applied common sense and stopped doing stupid chit. There are large blue signs on the trail that say "stay right, pass left" and "share the trail". Everyone can get along :grouphug:

The small children thing is my biggest peeve (and not just because I hate kids) because you'll routinely have packs of 6-20 cyclists chugging down the trail at 20+ mph. You wouldnt let your kid ride his tricycle around the neighborhood in the middle of the 25mph street, so dont do it on a major bicycle trail.
