Tailgated by other cyclist!!

You were doing 22 mph on a MUT?? Don't those things generally have a 15 mph speed limit? Most do around here. Going that fast on a trail is inherently dangerous. At that speed, you ARE safer on the road.
At most speeds, I think an experienced cyclist such as yourself is safer on the road, especially at this time of year when paths are crowded with kids, dogs, runners, in-line skaters, and folks who have no clue what they're doing on a bike. Oy. I shiver just thinking about it.

There were people passing us going ALOT faster, and there is no speed limit posted at all. Most people around here know that alot of people go down there to ride since it's the only FLAT place around here, that is why MOST people stay on the dirt path next to the paved path. We weren't going that fast when people were around, give me some credit, our average was 17 anyway. The POINT of my post was regarding the people that were MORE of a hazard by not looking and just pulling out in front of people on the path, then getting mad when they were passed and trying to hit ME! If you all honestly think that my husband and I are that ignorant and rude, I'm very offended.
Bye ya'll it's been real. I hope you all can keep new people coming on this board from feeling attacked or insulted, it's not worth it anymore.
