CERTAINLY the more oblivious the better.<br /><br />All jokes aside. I think cyclists that pass runners too close or at a high rate of speed-on say-the BDB, need a warning or deserve the finger. In my experience, this is most likely the inexperience, those simply having a bad day or man w/out social grace. As these people use the trail more and more, the etiquette will come. ��Tammyhttp://www.myperfectlittlerunningworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-78273861512293219852012-09-13T21:13:35.731-05:002012-09-13T21:13:35.731-05:00I like the center line - it works on the BDB (even...I like the center line - it works on the BDB (even though it was an after thought) and I always say "hello" instead of the somewhat alarming - ON YOUR LEFT ... It helps to say hello early enough to give walkers time to step into your path and then realize they are not the only ones on the trail and then Step back to the right & smile as you go by ...dewonn43https://www.blogger.com/profile/09143044789778213747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-84366259654478446892012-09-12T11:07:46.657-05:002012-09-12T11:07:46.657-05:00^True I always say hi, howdy, etc. instead of the ...^True I always say hi, howdy, etc. instead of the alarming\confusing "ON YOUR RIGHT!!!!"...I save that for MTB races....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-38274116410439080322012-09-07T10:38:41.873-05:002012-09-07T10:38:41.873-05:00People saying hi as you pass, chit-chatting with s...People saying hi as you pass, chit-chatting with strangers while resting. Those you see doing this are already defusing conflict by creating a good atmosphere. That is an important foundation.

We all like to bitch, but few of us are really mad about anything.) I've heard proposals for speed limits, writing tickets, speed bumps, banning bikes from the bike path, etc., and the only one that I think would actually make things better is the simple line, at least in heavily used areas. Unlike the other suggestions, it applies in all conditions, it doesn't require monitoring, and it doesn't create an obstacle. It is a simple reminder that the trail has two-way traffic. A few reminders to "Stay right" and our little corner of the world would be a slightly happier place. And don't forget to "be alert" and "be polite" while you're at it.JBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612290032138592894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319471012350330893.post-67677037883221644792012-09-06T14:05:54.473-05:002012-09-06T14:05:54.473-05:00Your post reminded me of a question Faith and I de...Your post reminded me of a question Faith and I debated the other night. Why doesn't the river trail have a painted center line the whole way? That would provide a visual cue that we all habitually follow to stay to the right.Merchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440744694429187347noreply@blogger.com
