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.
No offense intended or implied.
We're all friends here, right?
I honestly don't know the bike path scene near you and I have a lot of respect (from your posts) for you and your DH as cyclists. I would never in a million years say you or your husband are ignorant or rude.
I agree completely that the biggest hazard on bike paths are clueless people. That is why I'm just surprised that anyone - you or (especially) folks going faster than you - would go so fast on a MUT (perhaps the MUTs near me are too frequently broken up by major street crossings to get up that much steam! ). Anyway, yeah...people are unpredictable and MUTs can be....um...a "challenge", as you discovered.
Peace??
