Bike paths are dangerous (seriously!). Rule of thumb: yield to everyone.

I'm always most afraid of young kids learning to ride and dogs on extra-long leashes. But the trails are multi-use, and from others' perspective they don't particularly like cyclists whizzing by at 15+ mph either.

So next time, ignore whatever your DH does and yield to the little kids, and the seniors with canes, and the dogs, and the big family on a leisurely stroll, and the squirrels, and so on....

And, oh yeah, keep eating -- when you're working out it's all fuel.
