I could just see an ill-timed swing taking us both out.

Again--why I almost never ride the north lakefront path...
Lise, roller-bladers are my #1 pet peave! They have driven off the Minuteman Bike Path that practically runs through my backyard. They rarely yield to bicycles and almost ALWAYS take up the whole path!! The best sign I ever saw was on that Schuylkill River bike path outside Philly that said roller-bladers must yield to bicycles must yield to pedestrians (except it was all in pictures and was kinda cool). It was such a smart sign.
