Dear cyclist who passed me on the bike/walk path this morning,

Thanks for the polite "on your left." Although my dog was peeing to the left of the trail and I was standing on the far left edge of the pavement beside her, I was pretty sure you weren't really planning on passing us on the big, sharp rocks to the left of us. Hence the friendly wave I gave you in return.

And to your "thank you" as you did pass us (on the right ), you're certainly welcome! A polite heads-up is always appreciated.

Sincerely,

Sharin' the Path
