After the severe tongue lashing here, I may be tipping my hat and smiling at the lovely creatures for weeks to come. ;-) On behalf of rec.bike, I announce that you are hereby forgiven, pardoned, and granted atonement. Go and sin no more, and have fun. Who let YOU in here?!? Bill "ol' Badge ain't even SEEN severe tongue lashing yet" S. PS: My two cents is to try a nicer greeting than yelling, "Bike!" You know, something like, "Hi. Coming up on your left; mind if I pass?" Stranger things have proven effective... |

I was surprised Stella didn't tear him a new one, knowing Stella. I think this atonement stuff is getting to her, she posts once in four months and it's all this kissy **** about apologies and so forth. I definitely think this ng is going downhill, even Jobst has been remarkably civil of late. -- _______________________ALL AMIGA IN MY MIND_______________________ ------------------"Buddy Holly, the Texas Elvis"------------------ in.edu__________ |

Never overestimate the alertness or intelligence of the bike path pedestrian. I always use the bell about 100 meters from peds... even then they get this "deer in the headlights" look. There should be a sign at every entry point for peds. "YOU'RE ENTERING A MULTI-USE TRAIL". And... The dog on the leash is typically a problem on multi-use trails. The skaters think they own the trail... the walkers think they own the trail... and bicyclists think they own the trail... and the runners hate everyone. Keep your finger on the bell! hth |

"Badger South" Hmm, not sure if you're seeing it as humor, but I do travel slowly when approaching pedestrians. I'm coasting, and am prepared to stop. Just thought fellow trail bikers would appreciate a couple funny diatribes. Oh well. ;-) Don't worry about it... there's a faction of bicyclist that mow down everything in their way while doing 20 MPH on multi-use trails. No respect for peds... skaters... or anyone else for that matter. Run red-lights... stop signs... and announcing a pass wouldn't even enter they minds. (To cook to be courteous... to much of a moron to use common sense). It's best just to keep your eyes open... use your bell when passing... and pass with care. Or... hit the streets. fwwi |
