And they generally have modest speed limits of 15 MPH or less.<BR/><BR/>Inconsiderate hardcore lycra hammerhead cyclists don't belong on multi-use paths. Tell 'em to go "shred" on a road if they want to go fast. Use abundant profanity, and don't hesitate to report them to authorities. <BR/><BR/>I'm an enthusiastic bike promoter, and believe bicycling can make one a better person. But I recognize that jerks are evident in all transportation modes.

Isn't there room for all of us and shouldn't all forms of exercise be encouraged?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-62964763731398621322007-03-17T21:28:00.000-07:002007-03-17T21:28:00.000-07:00I absolutely share your opinion that cyclists shou...I absolutely share your opinion that cyclists should respect pedestrian spaces. Whenever cyclists start complaining about "them pedestrians" I try to point out that we're just expressing what many motorists express about us.Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.com
