Letters from the bike trail

[Owlie]

Dear trail maintenance people--
Uh, can you clean up that "cyclocross" section that last weekend's storm so generously added to the trail?

Dear jobbers on the multi-user path,
Yes you do have the "right of way" according to state law. State law also states that I, on a bike, can ride on said path as well as sidewalks as long as I slow to walking speed around pedestrians and give an audible warning when I pass. Those are my responsibilities. It's you're responsibility to allow me to pass when I give a warning. Please to not monopolize the entire width of the path/sidewalk and allow me to pass without all of the snarky comments. I pay taxes too.

Dear speedster:

Do you go through stop signs at 25mph in your car too? Sure, there were no motorized vehicles in sight, but it's still a stop sign. It's there for a reason.
