The most dangerous animals I've encountered on our local walking trails are Lance Armstrong wannabes.

As a cyclist, the most dangerous animals I've encountered on our mixed-use trails are idiot pedestrians who walk two or three abreast. We call them bikeway turtles.

And then there are the doofuses who let their dogs run wild across the path, or let them nip at passersby.

Right of way per local law goes to pedestrians, you just proved my point.

And a bike is considered to be a motor vehicle UNTIL YOU HIT ONE and then they suddenly become a PEDESTRIAN!!!

Figure that one out...

"Right of way" doesn't apply on mixed-use trails. It's just as dangerous for a pedestrian to interfere with a cyclist as it is for a cyclist to interfere with a pedestrian. And it's a lot easier for a pedestrian to step off the shoulder than it is for a cyclist to ride in the rough.

A little mutual courtesy goes a long way.

A bicyclist, mentioning mutual courtesy. LOL
That’s like a Congressman mentioning trustworthiness.

Yeah, I see it every day where a cyclist runs a car off the road, or flips off a driver who’s hogging the lane.

Were there any Clintons or their followers in the area?

Clintons and Bushes are family.
